I wish I had the words to define

How everything will be alright

But I sit there quiet

And while I wonder what to say

You shake your head asking while life has to be that way

So easily we lose the ones we love

You look to me and all I can think of

This Life's for the living

This Life's for the ones you love

it's not my place I have no right

To tell you what to do with your life

But I miss your smile

And while your anger keeps you up at night

Crying for things you can't fight

Oh I'm here all the while

So easily we're gone before our time

It isn't fair, not it isn't right

This Life's for the living

This Life's for the ones you can hold onto

This Life's for the people you love

Standing next to you

They help you through

This Life

This Life

So take it slow and say goodbye

I know you know it takes time to realize

This Life's for the living

This Life's for the ones you can hold onto

This Life's for the people you love

Standing next to you

They help you through

This Life

This Life
