Where I lose myself in the stories
My old man would tell about life
True love and war
The kind of war where you beat yourself

'Cause now I've got this stomach pain
The kind of pain that gets worse
When the rain hits hard
Like my fist when I try to explain
To the wall this mess I'm in

See, I'm tired now and my mind won't quit
Since I got the news that you were sick
I thought of life, of time and death
If I could only use my breathe

I'd breathe my life into your lungs
With love and strength
I have faith, I will lift you up
It's a lesson learned

As we move on
I still need you around
I'd be lost without you
I'm not sure I can face
This world on my own

No, I don't wanna go on alone
No, I don't wanna go on alone
I don't wanna go

Now I'm terrified that this fear exists
And I'm scared I'll come to terms with it
But that's life, you are what you leave
Like the simple lessons my dad taught me

I know we all grow old and die
And make our place in another life
I'm glad that there's still time
To let you know

I still need you around
I'd be lost without you
I'm not sure I can face
This world on my own

No, I don't wanna go on alone
No, I don't wanna go on alone
I don't wanna go

So live it up, live it up
'Cause you'll never know, never know
Time is always running
It will always guide you home

So live it up, live it up
'Cause you'll never know, never know
Time is always running
It will always guide you home

So live it up, live it up
'Cause you'll never know, never know
Time is always running
It will always guide you home

I don't wanna go on alone
(It's times like these where I lose myself)
I don't wanna go on alone
(It's times like these where I lose myself)

No, I don't wanna go on alone
(It's times like these where I lose myself)
I don't wanna go on alone

Where I lose myself in the stories
My old man would tell about life
