Album: Real Life

One And Only Love

I was young
He was old
We both were the same age
Every day
Playing fetch
Shaking hands, he'd lick my face

And I was unaware
the day would come
And when he died
for the first time I knew
What real pain was

And I never was the same again
From that moment on real life began

Senior high
Girlfriends
Football games, graduation
Summer break
Spend my time
Filling out applications

A few superficial years went by
they were all a blur
And in the most unlikely situation
there you were
Yeah
And I never was the same again
From that moment on real life began
with you
with you

By your side
Scared to death
Felt the pain
you were fighting
placed my palm on your head
spoke your name
Just keep trying

Then you closed your eyes
and took one last breath
and when it was over
you looked up
I laid our baby across your breast

And I never was the same again
From that moment on
real life began
