Lyrics

Time spent can’t afford
Minute less I mean it more
Know who’s not around to share another go round with me
Long ago’s
Where’d they go, no one knows
Tell me what to do when the ones you love have gone missing

My God I lost you at the corner
On God I lost you in a moment
Why now and not a little later
Tell me how the world seems to get along without you
Yeah
Tell me how to keep my world moving on without ya
Yeah
How can my world be much better off without ya

You were on the inside
Looking out
Went and took a life now you can’t get back home
Moms stays crying for both of them
Holding onto pictures cus she can’t hold
Either or you
Either of you

My God you took him at the corner
On God you lost it in the moment
What now, you’ve caught yourself a case and
Maybe the world would be much better off without ya
Yeah
Both of these lives would of carried on without
Yeah
Maybe the world would be much better off without ya

What about the other life
Would it be a better life you say
Was hoping for a better life than this
I don’t want to wish a life away
What about the other life
Would it be a better life you say
Was hoping for a better life than this
I don’t want to wish a life away

My God I lost you at the corner
On God you lost it in the moment
Why now, and not a little later
Tell me how the world seems to get along with out you
Yeah
Tell me how to keep my world moving on without ya
How could my world be much better of without ya
Yeah
