Time flew by so quickly
Life was tickity booten by the night
The bucks, the change
The weeks, the daily grind
Seventeen years young I lost my son
I lost my son
I fake being positive
Everything they tell you makes no difference to me
Best medicine, best doctors
Best efforts round the clock
God why did you do this to me?
God why did you do this to me?
A feat you can't concede
A loss you can't believe
A pain you can't relieve
Insanely unfair
Beyond compare
Family's not the same
Holes and caps and pain
Irreversible stains
Thirty years of hard work down the drain
A head full of gray
Pounding rain
It just keeps coming in waves
It just keeps coming in waves
God why did you do this to me?
God why did you do this to me?
I lived by the good book
My work meant something when I shook
I feel like they're all crooks
Cancer devils, filthy hooks
My son, he gave me one last look
You aren't supposed to bury your kid
The burden I carry I barely keep hid
Where do I go from here?
I'm overwrought with fears
I just want to drink twenty fucking beers!
But that won't help and that won't mend ya
Have some hope that you can lend
I'm barely coping, tiring to pretend
I'm fucking mad at the universe!
I'm beyond bewildered
I have a gaping fucking wound!
I'm immeasurably confused!
If there was one thing in this cold
World I could have chosen not to lose
It was you, you, you
It was you, you, you
If there's one thing in this cold
World I could have chosen not to lose
It was you, you, you
It was you
