Life On Life's Terms Lyrics

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

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
I, know we're not like them, couldn't be if we tried
Life, life isn't easy, just gotta take it in stride
