I WAS YOUNG
HE WAS OLD
WE BOTH
WERE THE SAME AGE
EVERYDAY
PLAYING FETCH
SHAKIN' HANDS
HE'D LICK MY FACE
AND I WAS UNAWARE
THE DAY WOULD COME
AND WHEN HE DIED
FOR THE FIRST TIME
I KNEW
WHAT REAL PAIN WAS
AND I NEVER WAS
THE SAME AGAIN
FROM THAT MOMENT ON
REAL LIFE
BEGAN
4 BAR
BREAK
SENIOR HIGH
GIRLFRIENDS
FOOTBALL GAMES
GRADUATION
SUMMER BREAK
SPEND MY TIME
FILLIN' OUT
APPLICATIONS
A FEW
SUPERFICIAL YEARS
WENT BY
THEY WERE ALL A BLUR
AND IN THE MOST
UNLIKELY SITUATION
THERE YOU WERE YEAH
AND I NEVER WAS
THE SAME AGAIN
FROM THAT MOMENT ON
REAL LIFE BEGAN
WITH YOU
WITH YOU
BY YOUR SIDE
SCARED TO DEATH
FELT THE PAIN
YOU WERE FIGHTIN'
PLACED MY PALM
ON YOUR HEAD
SPOKE YOUR NAME
JUST KEEP TRYIN'
AND THEN YOU
CLOSED YOUR EYES
AND TOOK
ONE LAST BREATH
AND WHEN IT WAS OVER
YOU LOOKED UP
I LAID OUR BABY
ACROSS YOUR BREAST
AND I NEVER WAS
THE SAME AGAIN
FROM THAT MOMENT ON
REAL LIFE
BEGAN
