[Verse 1]

Sorry for wasting your time

Five long months on a telephone line

Hours of asking if you were fine

And saying I was fine too

Sorry, but I've got to go

The birth was quick, but the death was slow

There was so much I didn't know

So much I never knew about you

[Chorus]

And so we disconnect

The room grows quiet around us

It's called the life effect

Will it always surround us?

[Verse 2]

Who made you happy last night?

I don't know his name, but Christ, can he fight

As I fell, he told me you had a light

A light that shone inside you

I found myself a decent man now

I love him because I care

The bravest that I've ever been

Was when I ran away from you

[Chorus]

And so we disconnect

The room grows quiet around us

It's called the life effect

Will it always surround us?

[Chorus]

And so we disconnect

The room grows quiet around us

Not a thing left to protect

The end has finally found us

[Outro]

The day is almost over

It's almost time for bed

Now you've finally lost me

Rest your weary head
