Its life they tell me
They tell me all day
When you lose someone that you love
Its life they told me
They told me all night
But, I loved him so much
And I put up a fight
How could they tell me such a thing
How could they expect me to get over it
He was my only, my world all alone
He was what stood between me and death
Its life they informed me
They informed me all the time
But, I would not listen
They wanted me to forget all about it
To let my life start anew
It is though impossible
Because, I loved him
He was what lit up my world
And he was what I woke up for every morning
So, this here is a lesson...
It is not life
If it was life it could've been stopped
It is not life I told them
I told them all eternity
