The Afters - This Life lyrics

I come in to tuck her in I'm so tired from where I've been Doing all I can to stay awake As she goes on about her day I hang on every word she says She reaches out and puts her hand in mine For a moment We are here together And it hits me that this won't last forever We can't own it We just get to hold it for a while This life We can't keep it Or save it for another time This life He was always there for me Now he's fighting just to breathe I tell him it's ok to let go As I look into his eyes I know that this won't be the last time But for now We're taking different roads For a moment We are here together And it hits me that this won't last forever What we give is all we have How we love is what will last And this hope we know will carry us through this life We were never meant to stay So we don't have to be afraid Of what is waiting on the other side
