You can find a way
To stop thinking about it
When every minute is a lifetime
The pain will go away
You wont believe but its true
Just count the inches on your lifeline

And I hate to be the one
Telling you that everythings ok
Cause what kind of God would give you life
And take it all away?

Oh but I dont want to be in your life
If you dont
And I dont want to wake in your arms
If you wont
Be alive when I need you the most
Not to say that I wont
Grieve a little when you pass away
When you pass away

You can find a place
And start thinking about it
When every second is the right time
The pain will go away
You wont believe but its true
Just count the inches on your lifeline

And I hate to be the one
Telling you that everythings ok
Cause what kind of God would give you life
And take it all away?

Oh but I dont want to be in your life
If you dont
And I dont want to wake in your arms
If you wont
Tell me everything you needed to be
Is everything that I am
Everything that you fear
About me
What you fear about me

Youll come back for all the wrong reasons
Maybe your life was out of season
You cant breathe
When you dont have a reason to die
And someday soon when the memory has faded
Well defend all the lives we once hated
And Ill be there baby glad that you made it alive

I dont want to be in your life
