johnny gown Lyrics

I held my breath for you

Until you said you were through

We spoke of death as if he was somebody that we knew

I flung my words round the kitchen

But nothing stuck like glue

Everybody thinks I'm doing well

Can't tell I'm barely respiring

The doctor wrote me a letter

The flowers dropped like flies

The johnny gown they gave me matched my eyes

To my surprise

I flung my heart on the dresser

Sewed it back to my sleeve

Feeling all these feelings in real time

Fights the disease

But I'm tired of trying

Ask me in the morning

How I'm doing

If I'm expiring, you'll see it in my vibe and

The devil's in the details

When I'm depriving myself from ever really thriving

I called a cab at midnight

I drank my last dose of gin

I lost my patience thinking of what almost could have been

I held the door for you

You told me that we were through

I guess you never know how many times

You'll say goodbye
