So she took her last breath
right before your eyes
It’s been two years coming
saying your goodbyes
and there’s nothing to distract you
from the silence in this house
you can’t fall between the cracks
and wait for tears to run out
Cause life don’t wait for no one
and I hear you say a prayer
in the middle of the night
Don’t wait for no one
you just gotta get back up
like a phoenix on the rise
don’t look back
The past has passed
and nothing’s gonna bring her back
And life dont wait
your tears won’t give
And you’ve got a life to live
uhhh ohhh mmm
Wake up force a smile
and make the hours count
know that keeping yourself
busy is paramount
Even though your world is upside down
and nothing’s making sense
And there’s a hole in your chest knowing
you won’t see her again
Cause life don’t wait for no one
and I hear you say a prayer
in the middle of the night
Don’t wait for no one
you just gotta get back up
like a phoenix on the rise
don’t look back
The past has passed
and nothing’s gonna bring her back
And life dont wait
your tears won’t give
And you’ve got a life to live
mmmm
Ahhhhh - ahhhhh
Ahhhhh - ahhhhh
Cause life don’t wait for no one
and I hear you say a prayer
in the middle of the night
Don’t wait for no one
you just gotta get back up
like a phoenix on the rise
don’t look back
The past has passed
and nothing’s gonna bring her back
And life dont wait
your tears won’t give
And you’ve got a life to live
