Have you ever told your mother
That she was more than God?
And for all the life she gave you
You would give her twice as much

Have you ever told your father
You were angry that he left?
And when both of you got older
Did you tell him you'd forgive?
Yes, I have, mmm

Have you ever loved your woman
With everything you got?
Have you told her that without her
Life is really not a lot?

Have you ever held your new born
And looked into his eyes?
When you saw your own reflection
Were you man enough to cry?
Yes, I was

Should have done it long ago
But now I know what I didn't, long ago
And I know that life gets shorter everyday we lose a day
So I want you all to know that I love you

Oh, what do we wait for
When we keep our feelings locked up and to ourselves?
Yeah, we hesitate but soon we all regret
When we find the door has closed and we're too late

Have you ever held a loaded gun
And pressed it to your head?
Did you think of all the ones you loved
And the life that you have left?

Have you ever told your friends
That they mean everything to you?
Did you tell them that you'd be there
And help their dreams come true?
Yes, I have

Should have done it long ago
But now I know what I didn't, long ago
And I know that life gets shorter everyday we lose a day
So I want you all to know that I love you

Yeah, I know that life gets shorter everyday we lose a day
So I want you all to know that I love you, yeah
