Lyrics
A Life Lost
He was on the red eye all through the night
But he never ever left home
He spends his days surrounded by friends
But he always feels alone
Those who care shake their heads and wonder
What more they could have done
But nothing could have stopped him
Taking this path when his life went wrong
Chorus
He's got a tab in every bar
That he'll never pay
His head feels it will burst
And what makes it worse
The hurt's still there the next day
Verse
His childhood was lost and it never returned
And he bore it by keeping it inside
By the time the wrong was revealed to the world
Relief from the hurt was denied
So he masks the pain any way that he can
But there's only one solution to it all
And he''ll seek some comfort the only way he knows
Though the comfort will be brief and small
Chorus
He's got a tab in every bar
That he'll never pay
His head feels it will burst
And what makes it worse
The hurt's still there the next day
Verse
And the days they pass by in a haze of "what ifs"
The wrong ievies its crushing cost
And the hurt never goes, just hovers around
And ensures another life lost
