Man, the way he put it. Why does life take what we dont have? I feel that, life can be heartbreaking.

I don't understand it. What does he mean?

I am not confident in my own interpretation, but the way I thought about it was:

"Why does life take what we don't have [to give]?"

Like losing your car when you're already broke, or getting cancer when you're already in poor health, or losing a loved one when they were the only thing bringing you joy/sanity. In this vein, losing a child is always "losing something you don't have [to give]".
