(Verse)
|
I come in to tuck her in.
|
I'm so tired from where I've been,
|
Doing all I can to stay awake.
|
|
As she goes on about her day,
|
I hang on every word she says.
|
She reaches out and puts her hand in mine.
|
|
(Pre-Chorus)
|
For a moment, we are here together.
|
And it hits me that this won't last forever.
|
|
(Chorus)
|
We can't own it
|
We just get to hold it for a while.
|
This Life.
|
We can't keep it
|
Or save it for another time.
|
This Life.
|
|
(Verse)
|
He was always there for me.
|
Now he's fighting just to breathe.
|
I tell him it's ok to let go.
|
|
As I look into his eyes,
|
I know that this won't be the last time.
|
But for now, we're taking different roads.
|
|
(Pre-Chorus)
|
For a moment, we are here together.
|
And it hits me that this won't last forever.
|
|
(Chorus)
|
We can't own it
|
We just get to hold it for a while.
|
This Life.
|
We can't keep it
|
Or save it for another time.
|
This Life.
|
|
(Bridge) x2
|
What we give is all we have.
|
How we love is what will last.
|
And this hope we know will carry us through this life.
|
What we give is all we have.
|
How we love is what will last.
|
And this hope we know will carry us through this life.
|
|
(Chorus)
|
We can't own it
|
We just get to hold it for a while.
|
This Life.
|
We can't keep it
|
Or save it for another time.
|
This Life.
|
|
(Outro)
|
We were never meant to stay,
|
So we don't have to be afraid
|
Of what is waiting on the other side.
|
Of this life
