You Never Think

You never think
That things could just stop
That life could end on a dime.

You like to believe
That you'll live forever
That nothing bad will happen.

But I know better
I've stared death in its face
I've willed it to take me.

And it nearly did
Almost destroyed and ended me
But it didn't.

You never think
That things could just stop
That life could just end on a dime

Until it happens to you
Or you see your friend
Lying on the bed of death.

Thats when it sinks in
You close your eyes
And cry to keep from running.

You never think
That things could just stop
That life could end on a dime.

You like to believe
That you'll live forever
That nothing bad will happen.

But I know better
