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
