goes a girl I used to laugh about
And one weekend someone dared me
And was surprised to find
She said someday I'll have to die
And I want everyone to say I was a lie
And you can't take that away from me
If I'm living then I have to be alive
and you can't take that away
But in the time I spent with her
I think I changed a little bit
She did a lot of crazy things
And now I'm back to normal,
but for about a month or so I was alive
And you can't take that away from me,
the memory will always be alive
and you can't take that away
Well, I still believe the way I always did
But I think a lot about the things she said
And there's a lot of people livin'
If you compare their lives to hers,
But there's a lot of ways to live
Because you can't take that away from me
I may not love every day,
and you can't take that away
