Life On Life's Terms

It was a Sunday when his phone rang
 I know how busy you have been
 I'm just calling to check in
 Heard his voice
 I knew then, it happened again (it happened again)
 This one was different
 I knew he meant it
 But the feeling's always the same
 Part of you that'll take the blame
 And better days is losing its ring
 If this means something at all
 I, know we're not like them, couldn't be if we tried
 Life, on life's terms ain't easy (on life's terms ain't easy)
 Told me the story, all too familiar
 It was a ghost from the past
 Really thought this one would last
 Baby boy, you deserve so much more (so much more)
 Hate to see it happen to a friend
 Why the lesson guys win in the end?
 Wondering what she had until you're gone
 She lost a good one
 Found her when it all turns to a mess
 But I can see it happened for the best
 Try to keep your chin up through the test
 You just gotta have faith
 If this means something at all
 I, know we're not like them, couldn't be if we tried
 Life, on life's terms ain't easy, just gotta take it in stride
 ♪
 And I'm by your side
 You've been by mine, through the good and the bad, yeah
 And all those nights when we'd just drive
 And we felt all alone in the world
 Look out tonight and we were right
 Look how far we have come
 Now is our time
