This song, goes out
To everybody who knows best
What its like, to forget the happy ending
Because youre so caught up, in tragic stories
This song, goes out
To the ones who lived in the moment
Right up to their last breath
Never wasting a day
Never wasting away
18 years is way too young
To disappear forever
I said to myself as i wrote these words down
When all you have is a moment
Take it and hold on
Because you might not get to say goodbye (goodbye)
When there are no more second chances
The clocks run out
But its too many years too soon
How did it happen? (how did it happen?)
How did it happen? (how did it happen?)
Now my worlds turned upside down
My smile turns to a frown
Its a chain reaction
How could it happen? (happen)
The fatal crash
The death of a friend
And by the time i finally realize
The tears slowly fill up my eyes
Its not for me to decide
Who deserves to live and to die
But if i could have i wouldve saved him
If i could i would have....
When there are no more second chances
The clocks run out
But its too many years too soon
How did it happen? (how did it happen?)
How did it happen? (how did it happen?)
now my worlds turned upside down
My smile turns to a frown
Its a chain reaction
How could it happen? (happen)

Spoken:
sometimes i wonder if Gods just teaching us a lesson when a life
is taken away, and sometimes i wonder why life is the price we must pay,
all the sorrow that comes from tragedy, all the pain from loss, all the
suffering caused by the fact that there was no second chance for those
that actually deserved it, the ones who couldve done great things but
instead were cut down in the prime of life, to become just a saddened
memory in the hearts of those that were touched by that person, is that
justice? I dont think so. what is the point when no lesson is learned
and people get hurt, and happiness is replaced with sorrow and
depression, is that justice? i dont think so....
Whens theres no more second chances
The clocks run out
But its too many years too soon
How did it happen? (how did it happen?)
How did it happen? (how did it happen?)
Now my worlds turned upside down
My smile turns to a frown
Its a chain reaction
How could it happen? (happen)
Spoken:
carry the memory with you in your heart always
dont let them become just another faded picture on the wall
live for the moment.....
(dedicated to shane koch, who deserved a second chance)
