Sander Selover - In This Life lyrics

[Verse 1] Sitting on a park bench Thinking about a friend of mine He was only 23 Gone before he had his time It came without a warning Didn't want his friends to see him cry He knew the day was dawning And I didn't have a chance to say goodbye [Chorus] In this life I loved you most of all What for? Because now you're gone and I have to ask myself What for? [Verse 2] What for? Driving down the boulevard Thinking about a man I knew He was like a father to me Nothing in the world that he wouldn't do Taught me to respect myself Said that we're all made of flesh and blood Why should he be treated differently Shouldn't matter who you choose to love [Chorus] [Bridge] People pa** by and I wonder who's next Who determines, who knows best Is there a lesson I'm supposed to learn in this case Ignorance is not bliss [Chorus] [Verse 3] Have you ever watched your best friend die (what for) Have you ever watched a grown man cry (what for) Some say that life isn't fair (what for) I say that people just don't care (what for) They'd rather turn the other way (what for) And wait for this thing to go away (what for) Why do we have to pretend (what for) Some day I pray it will end [Outro] I hope it's in this life I hope it's in this life time
