A life taken
This song is about a life-changing incident whereby a gunman shoots and kills the wrong man. The victim looked, walked, and talked like the intended target. The innocent man's wife is left utterly heartbroken. Another senseless crime.

A life taken
My heart is breaking
Why was he mistaken
For a bad guy left shaking
He looked like him
He walked like him
He talked like him
But it was not him
Chorus
You never know
When death comes knocking
The last breath was taken
My heart is breaking
My body aching
I am really broken
Just broken, broken
The police came fast
The shooter caught
I am so fraught
I cannot talk
A senseless crime
He was all mine
I am now alone
Just have my phone
Chorus
You never know
When death comes knocking
The last breath was taken
My heart is breaking
My body aching
I am really broken
Just broken, broken
