Consolidated - For David lyrics

Came of age back in '69 Did some crazy things back in changing times Making choices and if you choose to use Sometimes the ones you love the most you could lose First time you put your hands on her she said I love you so but now it's over you can't forget Patterns repeated So deep seeded you don't know why How to change a life that is a lie Things you did were not forgotten Lives you've lived were not forgiven You made decisions And now the consequences you have to pay This is a train wreck going one way Unless you want to change I'll never do it again Change Every time people look at me I know I'm a batterer I'm an addict So many lessons so much you have to learn So much water under the bridge you burned There's no way to turn back time now What's done is done All you do is change yourself When you love someone The good things you do are not forgotten The good life you made and all is forgiven Choice and consequence You're marriage that you saved You made this happen you accounted You know that you can change I'll always be there for you Change Everyone knows that I adore you I'm a husband I'm a father It was such a nice night When I went to bed everything was all right All of a sudden it was like I was your nightmare That I couldn't awake from Chief Joseph wrote that life is like a tree When a strong wind blows the tree must sway Or be torn from it's roots This was from jacob's scrapbook At the funeral tears come over the crowd in waves You were so heroic the testimony that you gave You need support you need something to do If you keep going back It's going to be consuming you You know his life won't be forgotten He'd want you to be celebrating living You feel his spirit well it's with you every day He needs your love you need his love When you're going through this Change I don't know if I can live through his Can't bring back your loving kiss Live with all the things I miss I don't know if I can live through this
