Album: Unstoppable
Track 11
If you would like me to do the lyrics to a song, just ask!
I don't own the song or lyrics!
Lyrics: You must have been in a place so dark, you couldn't feel the light
Reachin' 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 askin'
Was there anything I could have said or done?
Oh, I had no clue you were maskin' a troubled soul
God only knows what went wrong
And why you would leave the stage in the middle of a song
Mmmmmmm...

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 askin'
And, was there anything I could have said or done?
Oh, I had no clue you were maskin' the troubled soul
Oh, god only knows what went wrong
And why you would leave the stage in the middle of a song
Yeah...

Now the oak trees are swayin' in the early autumn breeze
A golden sun is shining on my face
The tangled thoughts I hear
A mockingbird sings
This old world really ain't that bad a 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 told you life wasn't worth the fight?
They were wrong
They lied
And now you're gone
And we cry

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

Your beautiful song
Your absolutely beautiful song

"but i do have one burning question:

who told you life wasn't worth the fight? ...They were wrong!"

that part really touched me. It's an important life lesson that lots of us forgot.

I've considered suicide a couple of times... but this song really open my eyes. It shows me that even though it doesn't seem like it, there ARE people out there who care for you. It shows me the pain i'd inflect on them if i did. Mom's been through so much, i can't let her suffer again... and i won't.

luv u mom

i used this song at a rally for my school...i had never seen so many high school kids cry. it touched everyone, and left the entire gym quite.

Dear smalls, I know you are no longer here with us, and that's the hardest part to understand, that we will no longer see you in the hallways smiling at the whole world. We all miss you soo much, and you know this song reminds me of you soo much. No one knew what you were going throught, i still ask myself 'Why?' 'Why didnt i notice, why didnt you come and talk to me?' You were like a brother to me, but you are no longer here. But now your in a better place. Save me a spot in heaven. Miss you!

This is my cousins friends song. He killed himself, I was to young to care when she played this song. Now im old enough, i know why now. I may not have known him but i look apon him as a friend. This is for him, and to all his friends. Thats why i want you to play this song for him. He will be missed, he will be missed.

When I was suicidal, it wasn't that no one cares. I know so many people who care, and that's what propels me to do it in a way. It's not because I want to cause them pain, I mean I don't want to do that. But it's because I know that I will be remembered, songs will be written about how tragic it was, videos will be made in my memory and so many people will share such beautiful stories. That makes me a terrible person, I know, but I've always been an attention hog.

i had a ex boyfriend tried taking his life but i stopped him and then he tried taking his life again when i broke up with him but he said he couldnt do that and hurt me cuz he still cares about me

On the 15th I attempted suicide. Obviously i didn't succeed in anything but breaking my daddy's heart. I spent a week in the hospital. I'm home now but i am not in a better place. I was asked if i would attemp suicide again, my answer was yes, if i knew i would succeed. i don't think my daddy will ever forgive me, but some people just need to leave this world and i feel like it's time for me to go. I need prayers please because i want to be strong for my daddy.

My two daughters ages 17 and 16 just lost one good guy to suicide. I don't know if he's at peace, but this was in October of 2011 and my two girls still go to sleep crying. This song says everything that they are afraid of asking.
