Life, it hurts. It hurts so bad.
You're supposed to be here, and it makes me mad.
I know you're not gone because you live in me.
They say I'm strong, but how dare you leave!
You told me "forever," but you lied.
The future we dreamed, I was denied.
It's not your fault. I just wanted you to fight.
Without you here, this world's not right.
My heart, it crumbles every time I wake.
The day pushes on and it's all fake.
I'm broken without you. Can't you feel
My pain from heaven? I don't want it to be real.
You were mine... mine, mine, mine.
They just keep saying it was your time.
But you were mine. Where's our time?
Time to grow old and time to fight,
Then take our time to make it right.
Time is now all I see.
Time without you. Time left on me.
Time is now my biggest fear.
Now that you're gone, what do I do with my time here?
Time doesn't make sense. It's like an illusion.
Facing the facts to find a conclusion.
It feels like I'm running, always in suspense.
Life is a gift. Pain is the consequence
Of feeling so deeply, loving so much.
I'd give my life for one last touch,
To hold your hand, to hear your voice.
Our last goodbye was not our choice.
They say you're in heaven and I shouldn't dwell.
But now that you're gone, this world is my hell.
