Girlfriend in a coma, I know
|Girlfriend in a coma  
I know - it's serious
I know, I know - it's serious
Girlfriend in a coma, I know
 
I know - it's really serious
Girlfriend in a coma  
there were times when I could
I know, I know - it's really serious
have 'murdered' her
 
(but, you know, I would hate
There were times when I could have murdered her
anything to happen to her)
But, you know, I would hate anything to happen to her
NO, I DON'T WANT TO SEE HER
No, I don't want to see her
Do you really think
 
she'll pull through?
Do you really think she'll pull through?
Do you really think
Do you really think she'll pull through?
she'll pull through?
 
Girlfriend in a coma I know
Girlfriend in a coma  
I know - it's serious
I know, I know - it's serious
there were times when I could
 
have 'strangled' her
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
(but, you know, I would hate
Baby goodbye
anything to happen to her)
 
WOULD YOU PLEASE
There were times when I could have strangled her
LET ME SEE HER!
But, you know, I would hate anything to happen to her
Do you really think
Would you please let me see her?!
she'll pull through?
 
Do you really think
Do you really think she'll pull through?
she'll pull through?  
Do you really think she'll pull through?  
 
Let me whisper my last goodbyes
Let me whisper my last goodbyes
I know - it's serious...
