lyrics

God help me I’m terrified
Will I die keeping them alive
Everything we were told was the truth was only lies
Your platitudes made people die.

Don’t applaud me from your balcony
If you’re hoarding all the PPE
You know we need it to stay safe while we’re saving lives
Your greed makes people die

Is mine the last face that you’ll see
as you approach eternity
Holding your hand, I’ll mask the fear that’s in my eyes
But every day I’m terrified

Never thought it’d come to this
Having to choose who gets to live
They’re drowning in midair, no way to
Save their lives
Watching too many die

This is the worst thing that I’ve known
Try not to let them die alone
I’m in a constant state of shock
Please God, make this terror stop!

Gotta stay far from my family
Terrified they’ll catch it from me
When I go home I’m too tired to scream or even cry
Can’t watch my family die

The word came down from the top
Speaking out will cost me my job
The care we’d all been taught was safe
Now washed away in this tidal wave

Who’ll be left to care for me
When I’m dying from this disease
So tired of watching my fellow nurses cry
All terrified we’re gonna die

Is mine the last face that you’ll see
As you approach eternity
Holding your hand I’ll mask the fear that’s in my eyes
But every day I’m terrified

Yeah every day I’m terrified
I’m terrified
Please God, don’t let me die
