Old Man

Never before would he even thought it

Take her life away

Nothing could give her peace but leaving

Careful what you say

He sees the pain, that no one else is seeing

He feels the pain, that no one else is feeling

(pre-chorus) now you've gone past the point you can't take

now you've gone past the point you can't

stop all the suffering...

stop all the pain...

(chorus) Old man stop the pain

now your life is stained

(repeat)

had it been the other way around

there's nothing i would change here

for my sake-for her sake

hey it's not a life i'm ending

hold on to nothing, i'll set you free

(pre-chorus)

(chorus)

go to sleep softly and know this,

i'm gonna take away the only thing you've left

because you can't speak to ask,

i will send you on your way...

it's the way its gotta be to set her free

take another shot old man

it's the way its gotta be

you know what you are ending

(modified chorus)

its the way its gotta be to set her free

take another shot old man

its the way its gotta be... old man
