Found a war to engage in and lost
Waved our flags without knowing the cost
As they line up the streets of our hard fought defeat
All repeating the sign of the cross
Dug a hole that can never be filled
Sure as the sun sets over the hill
Slowly gathered around without laughter or sound
We watch as this moment's fulfilled
We watch as a life's been fulfilled
Makes me question these theories I've had
How could something so good end up feeling so bad?
Now the words left behind linger fresh on my mind
Take care, take care, take care
Is anybody there?
I've got a little advice left to give
Maybe a meaningful life left to live
We all struggle for air and pretend we're prepared
When you know, still you know
Well your heart's gonna ache
And your heart's gonna break
But the hardest part comes
When you know its too late
As the days turn to weeks
And the months turn to years
Then you can't help but wonder
When that person was here
With the rear view, a clear view
And a path that will steer you
From the love that you've gained
Comes the pain that you'll veer through
From the hours you wake up
To the hours you sleep
You'll know it's been worth it
By the memories you keep
Now those final words spoken
Linger fresh on my mind
Take care, take care
And I'll see you in time
Take care, take care
And I'll see you in time
Take care, take care
It comes all in good time
