Lyrics
You took one for the team, and none for yourself
As the needle screamed one more hit for your health
A lesson learned well, I guess that’s what it takes
After all we’re all human, we all make mistakes
Did you know that we’d miss you, and let ourselves sink
To our knees in the taverns drowning in drink
Did you see your life’s fabric unfurl
As you laid blue on the sofa dead to the world?
Time is a lie
And sooner or later everyone you love must die
And I don’t feel like talkin’ anymore
Looking back I can see now how fragile we were
Thinking we were invincible, and couldn’t get hurt
But like a plate I was shattered when my heart hit the floor
As your ashes were scattered and you were no more
Time is a lie
And sooner or later everyone you love must die
You took one for the team, and none for yourself
As the needle screamed one more hit for your health
We had to learn somehow, I guess that’s what it takes
After all we’re all human, we all make mistakes
And I don’t feel like talkin’ anymore
