Your life is over, so now the truth has no price
You can never live those years again – all you lost to sacrifice
And I cried as you left me, your weary eyes lost their shine
And with your last breath you told me the sole regret that filled your mind

I didn’t live like I could’ve
I never laughed like I should’ve
And now I’m gone

Sometimes I wake up crying out loud
For an answer and a reason why you had to live without love
You didn’t live like you could’ve
Nobody asked you like they should’ve
Why you cry

Words seem so easy, I have to live what I say
So when my time comes like yours has
I’ll know peace that final day

Cause I’ll live like you couldn’t 
And I’ll cry like you wouldn’t 
And when I die, I’ll die like you didn’t -
With a love and devotion
An inner strength fueled by emotion
I’ll live my life like you couldn’t
I won’t refrain
