If you call the Doctor then I’m gonna
Walk out, leave you all alone
Cause I can take no more,
This is not my problem
If you call the doctor I’m never coming back, You’ve gone and made your choice
and I can watch no more, watch you slowly Turning off the light that you are
John:
Where is the Doctor, I’m sweating and my Eyes hurt, can’t even leave the floor
Won’t she come make me whole, Just this Once I promise
I’ve waited for hours one day I won’t need Her, but leaving takes its toll
Oh please don’t go, just stay, how could you Walk away from us? Is that what you want?
Whitney & John:
When I saw your face
I should have walked away
and now I’m stuck again
and now my head is full
of the lies you told
Who could I trust again
Now that I’ve turned to nothing
John:
Here comes the doctor, the last time I swear but I need a little more
and she can fix you too, anything you ask her to do
Whitney:
Here comes the doctor, I thought I could Leave here, run right out the door
and not look back again, but now it’s here I’m staying froze like water to snow
Whitney & John:
When I saw your face
I should have walked away
and now I’m stuck again
and now my head is full
of the lies you told
Who could I trust again
Now that I’ve turned to nothing
Come evaporate me now
Lift my water into clouds
Floating high above the crowd
Til’ I’m washed into the ground
I can feel it hit me now
As it fills me inside out
Every moment slowing down
Never turning back around
