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 (it happened again) This one was different I knew he meant it But the feeling's always the same Part of you that'll take the blame And better days is losing its ring If this means something at all I, know we're not like them, couldn't be if we tried Life, on life's terms ain't easy (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 (so much more) Hate to see it happen to a friend Why the lesson guys win in the end? Wondering what she had until you're gone She lost a good one Found her when it all turns to a mess But I can see it happened for the best Try to keep your chin up through the test You just gotta have faith If this means something at all I, know we're not like them, couldn't be if we tried 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, through 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 have come Now is our time I, know we're not like them, couldn't be if we tried Life, on life's terms ain't easy, just gotta take it in stride I, know we're not like them, couldn't be if we tried Life, life isn't easy, just gotta take it in stride
