You can’t take it from me

You can't take it from me

For it is mine alone

You were always here for me

To help me along

We can't always choose

Regardless, we lose

Fight hard as we may

The fate has it's way

Excuses grow old

And so does the game

Can't go back generations

To find place for blame

It would be nice

If we took our own advice

Isn't that right, old friend?

If I'm not here tomorrow

You've done nothing wrong

In healing, time takes me

To a place I belong

You can't take it from me

But you've helped ease my pain

No judgments be made

For there is no one to blame
