Twenty minutes until
the end of the world
and it's coming all
too soon
I couldn't find you
to say I love you
or give you a kiss
goodbye
And if I was asked if
I was scared
I'd lie and say
that it's not on
my mind
I'd hide my
shaking fingers
so that you wouldn't
have to worry
Twenty minutes left
and that last thing
I see won't be
your smile
