People come and go
The smell of the rehab chases them away
I wish I could leave like them
Walk out with no care in the world

People come and go
The nurses never leave me alone
Some of the food is nice
But a lot of the time it isn't

People come and go
My friend keep visiting me
They send flowers with "get well soon!" letters
But they know i'm not getting better

People come and go
I'm feeling worse than the start
So I know soon that I'll will go
And not come back

People come and go
The nurses tell me the news
As if I didn't already know
I'll be gone by tomorrow

So now I sit here alone
With nobody to come to see
And nobody to leave
But I wait for them
Because people come and go
