Ben Wagner - When Things Try to Tear You Apart

These bodies can take a quite beating
They make love and heal broken bones
And keep you just fine
Til something inside
The size of a speck starts to grow

A friend was a month from his wedding
When he was sat down for the news
Then his wife the nurse
Took him over to church
Said a prayer to the savior they knew

Oh sometimes I wonder
If there's a reason life gets so hard
Maybe you find what holds you together
When things try to tear you apart

The wedding was a hell of a party
We all drank and danced all night
And watched and smiled
When he spun her around
And he held her body so tight

The next day his wife took a razor
Shaved off every hair on his head
Looked at his face
Said I love you just the same
And they wandered swiftly back to bed

Oh sometimes I wonder
If there's a reason life gets so hard
Maybe you find what holds you together
When things try to tear you apart

There were pillow talks when they couldn’t sleep
And there were tears tracks wiped from their cheeks
Fighting for no reason at all
And a helping hand to pick up every fall

Til they were sat down in the waiting room
After six long months had gone by
And they got the news
The cancer reduced
He was gonna be alright


As he started remission
She kissed him on his head
He said he loved her
He was finally cured
Of any doubts he ever had

Oh sometimes I wonder
If there's a reason life gets so hard
Maybe you find what holds you together
When things try to tear you apart

Maybe you find what holds you together
When things try to tear you apart
