Lyric discussion by pantonecyan 

This song totally ties the album together, the songs preceding it just makes it more impactful, because they all explain, to an extent, how taking care of a sick person can take the life out of you.

so this is told from the sick person's point of view?

I don't believe so. It's told from the point of view of the person that is trying to help the sick person, but by doing so it has made him physically and mentally sick.

the entire album is a concept album about a guys relationship with his emotionally abusive, terminally ill girlfriend whom he still loved. this is the song where she dies, and rejects him at the end by giving back the ring that is repeatedly referenced in the album.

An error occured.
