It Was You

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Dad] Time flew by so quickly Life was tickity boo, didn't bat an eye The bucks, the change, the weeks, the daily grind 17 years' young, I lost my son I lost my son Have faith, think positive Everything they tell you No difference for me Best medicine, best doctors Best efforts, 'round the clock [Chorus 1: Dad] God why did you do this to me God why did you do this to me A fate you can't conceive A loss you can't believe A pain you can't relieve [Verse 2: Dad] Insanely unfair, beyond compare Families not the same Holes and gaps and pain Irreversible stains 30 years of hard work down a drain Ahead full of grey, pounding rain It just keeps coming in waves It just keeps coming in waves [Chorus 2: Dad] God why did you do this to me God why did you do this to me I lived by the good book My word meant something when I shook I feel like their all crooks Cancer, devil's filthy hooks My son he gave me one last look [Bridge: Son] You aren't supposed to bury your kid The burden I carry I try to keep hid [Dad] Where do I go from here? I'm overwrought with fear I just want to drink twenty fucking beers [Son] But that won't help and that won't mend You have some hope that you could lend? [Dad] I'm barely coping, tiring to pretend I'm fucking mad at the universe I'm beyond bewildered [Son] I have a gaping fucking wound [Dad] I'm immeasurably confused [Outro: Son and Dad] If there's one thing in this cold world I could have chosen not to lose It was you, you, you It was you, you, you If there's was one thing in this cold world I could have chosen not to lose It was you
