**[Verse 1]**
A female doctor smiled and said,
“The name of the disease is Guillain-Barré syndrome.
The motor nerves become paralyzed from the extremities to the brain, and in about a month, you’ll be completely paralyzed.
**[Pre-Chorus 1]**
I asked, “So when’s your next appointment?”
She replied, “You can’t go home. You’ll be hospitalized immediately.”
And she said, “Don’t worry, you won’t die.”
**[Chorus 1]**
Our happy life came to a sudden, painful end,
A future I could not imagine, just around the bend.
This deep misfortune, I thought, would never disappear,
We can’t return to that sweet life, overcome with fear.
**[Verse 2]**
One day, I told the female doctor,
“Everything in front of me turned yellow and I couldn’t see!”
I couldn’t say it out loud; all sense vanished, save for distant sounds.
I faintly heard the female doctor say, “Get the patient’s family out of the room!
**[Pre-Chorus 2]**
And check the patient’s oxygen levels!” My heart completely sank.
I wondered if the female doctor’s words,
“Don’t worry, you won’t die,” had been a lie.
**[Chorus 2]**
Our happy life came to a sudden, painful end,
A future I could not imagine, just around the bend.
This deep misfortune, I thought, would never disappear,
We can’t return to that sweet life, overcome with fear.
**[Instrumental Solo]**
**[Verse 3]**
I felt like my life was coming to an end
and that I was falling into nothingness.
I’m still only halfway there, and I don’t want it to end here.
I haven’t done anything for you, my dear sweetheart.
**[Pre-Chorus 3]**
I’m sorry. This may be the end. My love will not change.
But the oxygen supply was cut off, and my brain went dark.
**[Chorus 3]**
Our happy life came to a sudden, painful end,
A future I could not imagine, just around the bend.
This deep misfortune, I thought, would disappear,
We can’t return to that sweet life, overcome with fear.
**[Bridge]**
Just being alive is enough, and that makes us happy.
**[Final Chorus]**
Our happy life came to a sudden, painful end,
A future I could not imagine, just around the bend.
This deep misfortune, I thought, would disappear,
We can’t return to that sweet life, overcome with fear.
