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. This one was different I knew he meant it But the pain's always the same. Heart of gold he'll take the blame And better days is losing its ring. If this means something at all... I, I know we're not like them- Couldn't be if we tried. Life 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. I hate to see it happen to a friend, Why does lesser guys win in the end? She won't know what she had until you're gone. She lost a good one. I've found that when it all turns to a mess Look back and see it happened for the best. Try to heek your chin up though the tests You've just gotta have faith If this means something at all... I, I know we're not like them- Couldn't be if we try. 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 though 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've come and now is our time I, I now we're not like them- Couldn't be if we tried. Life one Life's terms ain't easy, Just gotta take it in stride.
