lyrics

You look so tired and you look so weak
Forced to under those hospital sheets
I reach the door that says 309
I walk in, you tell me you're fine

You are so brave and you are so strong
You've been goin' through so much for so long
I start to cry and you start to hug
You give me a bit of a tug and you say

Open heart surgery
Open heart surgery
Open heart surgery
Open heart surgery

I am so scared and you are so calm
You reach your hand out to grab my palm
You look at me and I look away
You tell me that everything'll be okay

You broke my heart and you broke your heart
Now you've got a chance at a brand new start
I start to leave as the nurse walks in
I hear her say that your chances are thin

Open heart surgery
Open heart surgery
Open heart surgery
Open heart surgery

Today's the big day and I pace the floor
Glance at the clock, a quarter past 4
I fall asleep in the waiting room chair
I wake up to find the doctor there

"I'm sorry son but he didn't make it,
I'll let that sink in for just a minute."
"I'll be okay, please leave me alone."
I sat there for hours trapped in a zone

Open heart surgery
Open heart surgery
Open heart surgery
Open heart surgery

6 months from then and here we are now
I made a promise and I made a vow
I'll never lose someone ever again
Without them knowing that I love them

From time to time I think about you
How you would breathe and how you would move
What would say if you were still here?
Probably that you'll stay for a year

Open heart surgery
Open heart surgery
Open heart surgery
Open heart surgery
