Cradle To the Grave

Cradle To the Grave - Alter Bridge Lyrics

Mother,
Tell me, [along the year] the stories
Just like long agoAll these memories
Start to fade before me
I cannot let them go
No, I can't let them goFrom the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Where would be my hiding place
When you're gone? OhOh, uh-uhFather,
Stay here, don't leave me like the other
No, I need you so
All you gave me
Father, how you loved me
Treated like your own
Don't ever let me goFrom the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Where would be my hiding place
When you're gone?There's no way to deny
The [poverty] of lifeAs time keeps marching on
All we have is lostAs time keeps marching on
All we have is lostNothing lasts forever
Nothing stays the same
From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Where would be my hiding place
When you're gone?From the cradle to the grave
It's a fear I can't escape
Where would be my hiding place
When you're gone?How am I to carry on?
How am I to carry on?
As time keeps marching on
How am I to carry on?
All we have is lostNothing lasts forever
Nothing ever stays the same
