#tougher
All the escape routes I found were dead ends
I hate when everyone around me just pretends
Ever wondered if life's worth living?
Got scared every time you thought of ending it?
Will the parents & gods ever be forgiving?
Trust me it’s not that easy to quit!
How do we end the suffering?
How long should we bear the suffering?
The only one way to end the suffering is to suffer
if you choose a different path, it’ll just get tougher.

I remember when I saw you
for the first time years ago
You brushed me off without a glance
I thought "that's someone I should know"
Time went by and walls came down
I softened your demeanor
It took some work, but I won out
Because, hell...you couldn't get much meaner
A first is always tougher
No matter what it is you do
But, each first is well worth living
If I can have my first with you
A few months in another first
You met my folks and friends
when I brought you to that birthday do
The one I wished would never end
You took your time and wore me down
Another first came soon
I remember how your body shone
All sweaty 'neath the moon
A first is always tougher
No matter what it is you do
But, each first is well worth living
If I can have my first with you
We married six months after that
In a year our first was born
I can't remember which one cried the most
You, or our baby, just new born
Our first house came, we bought a dog
Things were off and at full speed
But with all of our achievements
You were the one thing I'd still need
A first is always tougher
No matter what it is you do
But, each first is well worth living
If I can have my first with you
We opened up our business
The first of many more to come
It wasn't that successful
but it was still our number one
I remember that day's phone call
The doctor said "I've bad news for you"
He told me of the tumour
I'd passed first and was stage two
Through radiation and my chemo
You were the one who was always there
I remember when you came in
And you had shaved off all your hair
A first is always tougher
No matter what it is you do
But, each first is well worth living
If I can have my first with you
I've been gone now for a while
I know it's tough, but I'm around
I can see you and our child
Even though I'm in the ground
There'll be more firsts now together
I know it just won't be the same
But, still it's firsts and your'e together
Like when we first played out this game
A first is always tougher
Even though it's not with me
But, each first is well worth living
Just make it the best that it can be
