It has now spread itself all over inside me all the way to the brain and down to my knees
   My time comes closer with each day it lets me see with each night the pain keeps me from sleep
  
   Life has given me much maybe taken more but those good times were always worth waiting for
   When it's time for goodbyes
   I will leave grieving and yet so relieved with bitterness and joy
  
   Pleasure and pain; Heaven and Hell my memories
   What a long and strange trip this has been for me
   What a short and strange life this has been
  
   It has given me much maybe taken more but those good times were always worth waiting for
   When i'ts time to take leave of this world I will leave with bitterness and joy
