Lyrics Rare Americans – It Was You

Time flew by so quickly
Life was tickity boo didn’t bat an eye
The bucks, the change
The weeks, the daily grind

God why did you do this to me?
God why did you do this to me?
A fate you can’t conceive
A loss you can’t believe
A pain you can’t relieve

Insanely unfair
Beyond compare
Family’s not the same
Holes and gaps and pain
Irreversible stains
Thirty years of hard work down the drain
A head full of gray
Pounding rain
It just keeps coming in waves
It just keeps coming in waves

God why did you do this to me?
God why did you do this to me?
I lived by the good book
My word meant something when I shook
I feel like they’re all crooks

You aren’t supposed to bury your kid
The burden I carry I barely keep hid

Where do I go from here?
I’m overwrought with fears
I just wanna drink twenty fucking beers!

But that won’t help and that won’t mend ya
Have some hope that you can lend

I’m barely coping, tiring to pretend
I’m fucking mad at the universe!
I’m beyond bewildered

I have a gaping fucking wound!
I’m immeasurably confused!
If there was one thing in this cold world I could have chosen not to lose

It was you, you, you
It was you, you, you
If there’s one thing in this cold world I could have chosen not to lose
It was you, you, you
It was you
