I can barely raise my head off the pillow Some days I never get out of bed I start out with the best of intentions And then shuck it instead I don't think we'll get back how we use to No use in tryin' to measure the loss We better start gettin' used to it And damn the cost Go ahead and ask me How I make it through Only way I know is to Keep Livin' for the ones (ones who didn't make it) Livin' for the ones (ones who didn't make it) Keep livin' for the ones (ones who didn't make it) Livin' for the ones I'm livin' for the ones who didn't make it Cut down through no fault of their own Just keep 'em in mind, all the chances denied If you ever start to bitch and moan Just remember the ones who won't ever Feel the sun on their faces again Watch their grandkids collide, let it Break you inside Maybe this'll be the way you mend Go ahead and ask me How I make it through Only way I know is Keep Livin' for the ones (ones who didn't make it) Livin' for the ones (ones who didn't make it) Keep livin' for the ones (ones who didn't make it) Livin' for the ones (ones who didn't make it)
