She says he's overworked
He comes home late the kids are asleep and safely
tucked away
She lies to herself to wash away the pain
After work one day he hurries home to break the news to her
He's leaving now but it's an empty house no one can be found
He never got the call they're all at the hospital

Do you believe that tragedy
Can make you see what's alive is dying slowly

Her life hangs by a thread
As he's on his knees begging please
She's all I've got to live for now
As he opens his heart her eyes they open wide
He'll never be the same today his life begins to
change

Do you believe that tragedy
Can make you see what's alive is dying
Do you believe

Don't do anything you wouldn't do to yourself
Oh oh oh
Don't take for granted
You're not only killing yourself
When everyone around you falls without you

Will you see Will you see
When all that you've got is taken

Will you believe that tragedy
Can make you see what's alive is dying
Do you believe that tragedy
Can make you see what's alive is dying
Do you believe that tragedy
Can make you see what's alive is dying slowly
