you came and went so fast in my life
i don't know who's wrong, who was right that night
because you're gone and i'm still here
just whisper something sweet in the air
you wont see me cry and you won't hear me plea
but i want you to know i'll be fine with just me
i've done it before and i'll do it again
i know this road like the back of my hand
these nights are so long while these days are so short
i get on my knees when i pray to the lord
to send me a sign or a helping hand
but then i remember that i've got my friends
they've been here through the thick and the thin
just like i was for you back then
i've done all i can to live out my days
i've got all i want but lost you on the way

all that i need is right here in my hands
along with my voice that makes me a man
i've traveled this land and i've seen it all
from winter to spring and summer through fall
we think it's so tough and we had it so bad
until we step back and see what we had
life was so crazy but life was so fun
we were out of control like a misfired gun
now that we're older and we're all grown up
we finally realized that we must give a fuck
about our lives and the things that we do
we can't run around still acting a fool
it's time to live up to those words that you say
you say you praise god only on holidays
stay true to mind and stay true to your heart
or else your life will just crumble apart

here's to the life, the one that we hate
with our family and friends and the ones that escaped
responsibility as a man
and now they live life with no plan
here's to the life, the one that we love
with our family and friends and the ones up above
who left this life a bit too soon
and all we have are memories of you
