Girlfriend in a coma | Girlfriend in a coma, I know | ||
I know | I know - it's really serious | ||
there were times when I could | |||
Girlfriend in a coma | have 'murdered' her | ||
I know | (but, you know, I would hate | ||
anything to happen to her) | |||
NO, I DON'T WANT TO SEE HER | |||
Do you really think | |||
she'll pull through? | |||
