Why 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 would 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
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 a swayin’ in the early autumn breeze
A golden sun is shining on my face
With tangled thoughts I hear a mockingbird sing
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
Now your 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
