Beat You There Will Dempsey

[Verse 1]
I don't know why God always takes the good ones first
And man I've tried to be strong and carry on, but damn this hurts
And I just wish that I could talk to you again, somehow, some way
Even if it's for a moment, so I can hear you say

[Chorus]
Don't cry for me; I'm alright
Yeah, I'm better than you know
And this life can be a shorter ride
So don't waste it on sorrow
And just hold on to those moments
And the memories we shared
We're both headed for the same place anyway
I just beat you there

[Verse 2]
I know they say, "Just give it a little time, you'll be okay."
That might bе true; it don't really help mе today
And we ain't supposed to question the Man upstairs
'Cause there's just so much I don't understand
It just don't seem fair

[Chorus]
Don't cry for me; I'm alright
Yeah, I'm better than you know
And this life can be a shorter ride
So don't waste it on sorrow
And just hold on to those moments
And the memories we shared
We're both headed for the same place anyway
I just beat you there
