~ Lyrics ~

It must have been a place so dark you couldn't feel the light,
Reaching for you through that stormy cloud.
Now here we are gathered in our little home town.
This can't be the way you meant to draw a crowd.

Oh, why, that's what I keep asking.
Was there anything I could have said or done.
Oh, I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul.
God only knows what went wrong.
And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song.

Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a seventeen year old.
Rounding third to score the winning run.
You always played with passion, no matter what the game.
When you took the stage you shined just like the sun.

Oh, why, that's what I keep asking.
Was there anything I could have said or done.
Oh, I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul.
God only knows what went wrong.
And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song.

Now the oak trees are swaying in the early autumn breeze.
The golden sun is shining on my face.
The tangled thoughts I hear a mockingbird sing
This whole world really ain't that bad of place

Oh why, there's no comprehending.
And who am I to try to judge or explain
Oh, but I do have one burning question
Who you told you life wasn't worth the fight
They were wrong, they lied.
Now you're gone, and we cried

Cause it's not like you to walk away in the middle of a song.
Your beautiful song. Your absolutely beautiful song.

  • Reading your comments is moving. I've recently discovered i'm a manic depressive. This was after a friend of mine died with similar triats and my family made me seek help. Those who say sucide is the cowards way out have NO understanding of MENTAL ILLNESS/ DEPRESSION/ MADNESS, call it what you will. However, these things take young/old lives in their prime and destroy the lives of their loved ones. I'm not sure what my point is, but, lets look after each other!!!!!

  • My dad, a wonderful man, took his life two years ago. He was an amazing police officer who cared so much about his city that he tried to carry the all of the problems of it on his shoulders. Please respect our police officers. They are willing to lay their lives on the line for us daily. Rarely do we stop to realize the number of horrific things police officers witness each day and the effect that may have on them. Remember how much police officers sacrifice to protect complete strangers.

  • Rip Jason O'Connor January 24, 1993 to May 23, 2009...i still feel your angel every time I hear our music and I feel your touch wiping away every tear every time I cry. I can't believe your really gone. I never knew you could ever be toughen away from me. My eighteenth birthday today without you doesn't feel the same.

  • My favorite teacher played this song in class and there wasnt a dry eye in the room. After this song he played "My Wish" both songs sound so good together.... When he played us this, it was about a year before my cousin committed suicide.. it weird how different this song seems now.
