Life After You
Strange thinkin' life can leave you in the blink of an eye
And you never know when it's gonna be the last goodbye
I'm not one to question the good Lord's reasons why
You gotta take each breath you're given before you run out of your time
Well I got the call last Monday
Couldn't wrap it around my mind
Damn good friend of 22 years
He deserved a lot more time
I hit the bottle
I had to choose
Between stayin' up sober
Fightin' these demons
Or drown out the missin' you
I numbed the pain
Cause I don't wanna feel a thing
I just wish that you were here to help me through
Life after you
Life after you
Had your service on a Saturday
I was dressed down in all black
And your daddy spoke
And your momma cried the kind of tears you can't hold back
Said a prayer of serenity
Shared stories from the past
You could tell you left a mark on everyone there
And anyone that crossed your path
Well I'm thankful and I'm lucky
To have known and be known by you
I know you're in a better place
But that just don't help me through
I hit the bottle
I had to choose
Between stayin' up sober
Fightin' these demons
Or drown out the missin' you
I numbed the pain
Cause I don't wanna feel a thing
I just wish that you were here to help me through
Life after you
Life after you
Well I'm thankful and I'm lucky
To have known and be known by you
I know you're in a better place
But that just don't help me through
I hit the bottle
I had to choose
Between stayin' up sober
Fightin' these demons
Or drown out the missin' you
I numbed the pain
Cause I don't wanna feel a thing
I just wish that you were here to help me through
Life after you
Life after you
And you never know when it's gonna be the last goodbye
I'm not one to question the good Lord's reasons why
You gotta take each breath you're given before you run out of your time
Well I got the call last Monday
Couldn't wrap it around my mind
Damn good friend of 22 years
He deserved a lot more time
I hit the bottle
I had to choose
Between stayin' up sober
Fightin' these demons
Or drown out the missin' you
I numbed the pain
Cause I don't wanna feel a thing
I just wish that you were here to help me through
Life after you
Life after you

Life after you
Well I'm thankful and I'm lucky

I numbed the pain
Cause I don't wanna feel a thing
I just wish that you were here to help me through
Life after you
Life after you
