Intro: Sweat, and blood, and ink I've spent But I saved my tears I won't spring a leak for them Sharply dressed and ill at ease Like a sucker keen to please The man, the boss, the teacher I have tried to fall in love It did nothing more than leave me messed up Some wild, bitter baby Now I'm crying for whoever Contentment would have made All things pass and change I wish you could Have lived your life All the things you would have seen Or the man you could have been I would stand beside you Now the hours and seconds crawl Make me question it all again Why my son, my boy, my light? You'd have found someone to love Someone sweet and kind, a lot like you She'd be your everything And it could have saved you Contentment would have made All things pass and change I wish you could Have lived your life Contentment would have made All things pass and change I wish you could Have lived your life like this
