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 your 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
