lyrics

Picturing you dear
Every morning I get up and do my time
Back when you were here
Oh that silver lining wasn't hard to find
But there's thing you can't avoid
And I am running into them at every turn
Drowning in the noise of a million lessons I am being forced to learn

And I've had my fill of death and taxes
My fill of death and taxes
I've had my fill of death and taxes for a lifetime
I've had my fill of death and taxes
My fill of death and taxes
I've had my fill of death and taxes for a lifetime

And it's true what they say
The Lord giveth, and He also takes away
I keep falling on my knees
but getting up isn't as easy as it used to be

And I've had my fill of death and taxes
My fill of death and taxes
I've had my fill of death and taxes for a lifetime
I've had my fill of death and taxes
My fill of death and taxes
I've had my fill of death and taxes for a lifetime

I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna be ungrateful
But I'm sick of tired of goodbyes
Lord, I'm just trying to be faithful

And it's a difficult endeavor
Try not to focus on the worries on of each day
'Cause ain't nobody here forever
And the grief and paperwork keep getting in my way

And I've had my fill of death and taxes
My fill of death and taxes
I've had my fill of death and taxes for a lifetime
I've had my fill of death and taxes
My fill of death and taxes
I've had my fill of death and taxes for a lifetime
