One day you're here and one day you're gone You beat to the drum but you keep movin' on Ain't nobody knows when the next name's called 'Cause one day you're here and one day you're gone
So I got on the phone and I talked to my mom She said, "There's only a few things you can control Like the will of your heart and the peace of your mind There's only so much you can see with your eyes"
But oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Sometimes it's hard to put in words Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Nobody knows the way it hurts Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Broken bones, you live and learn (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) 'Cause we don't know that a good thing ends But someday I hope that it'll all make sense
The table for us was the first time we talked Before we took our paths We're both less apart Only a matter of years 'til you're off in the stars 'Cause one day you're here and one day you're gone
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Sometimes it's hard to put in words Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Nobody knows the way it hurts Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Broken bones, you live and learn (Ooh-ooh-ooh) 'Cause we don't know that a good thing ends (Good thing ends) But someday I hope that it'll all make sense
Ooh-ooh (Ooh) One day you're here and one day you're gone
