It Was You - Rare Americans

Time flew by so quickly

Life was tickity boo didn’t bat an eye

The bucks, the change

The weeks, the daily grind

Seventeen years young I lost my son

I lost my son

Have faith, think positive

Everything they tell you makes no difference to me

Best medicine, best doctors

Best efforts 'round the clock

God why did you do this to me?

God why did you do this to me?

A fate you can’t conceive

A loss you can’t believe

A pain you can’t relieve

Insanely unfair

Beyond compare

Family’s not the same

Holes and gaps and pain

Irreversible stains

Thirty years of hard work down the drain

A head full of gray

Pounding rain

It just keeps coming in waves

It just keeps coming in waves

God why did you do this to me?

God why did you do this to me?

I lived by the good book

My word meant something when I shook

I feel like they’re all crooks

Cancer devils, filthy hooks

My son, he gave me one last look

You aren’t supposed to bury your kid

The burden I carry I barely keep hid

Where do I go from here?

I’m overwrought with fears

I just wanna drink twenty fucking beers!

But that won’t help and that won’t mend ya

Have some hope that you can lend

I’m barely coping, tiring to pretend

I’m fucking mad at the universe!

I’m beyond bewildered

I have a gaping fucking wound!

I’m immeasurably confused!

If there was one thing in this cold world I could have chosen not to lose

It was you, you, you

It was you, you, you

If there’s one thing in this cold world I could have chosen not to lose

It was you, you, you

It was you
