You can find a way to stop thinking about it
When every minute is a lifetime
The pain will go away, you won't believe but it's true
Just count the inches on your lifeline

And I hate to be the one telling you that every thing's ok
'Cause what kind of God would give you life and take it all away?

Oh but I don't want to be in your life, if you don't
And I don't want to wake in your arms, if you won't
Be alive when I need you the most, not to say that I won't
Grieve a little when you pass away, when you pass away

You can find a place and start thinking about it
When every second is the right time
The pain will go away, you won't believe but it's true
Just count the inches on your lifeline

And I hate to be the one telling you that every thing's ok
'Cause what kind of God would give you life and take it all away?

Oh but I don't want to be in your life, if you don't
And I don't want to wake in your arms, if you won't
Tell me everything you needed to be, is everything that I am?
Everything that you fear about me, what you fear about me?

You'll come back for all the wrong reasons
Maybe your life was out of season
You can't breathe when you don't have a reason to die
Someday soon when the memory has faded
We'll defend all the lives we once hated
And I'll be there baby glad that you made it alive, yea yea yea

I don't want to be in your life
I don't want to be in your life
I don't want to be in your life
