Why

You must have been in a place so dark, you couldn't feel the lightReachin' for you through that stormy cloudNow here we are gathered in our little home townThis can't be the way you meant to draw a crowdOh, why?That's what I keep askinWas there anything I could have said or done?Oh, I had no clue you were maskin' a troubled soulGod only knows what went wrongAnd why you would leave the stage in the middle of a songMmmmmmm...Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a seventeen year oldRounding third to score the winning runYou always played with passion no matter what the gameWhen you took the stage you shined just like the sunOh, why?That's what I keep askinAnd, was there anything I could have said or done?Oh, I had no clue you were maskin' the troubled soulOh, god only knows what went wrongAnd why you would leave the stage in the middle of a songYeah...Now the oak trees are swayin' in the early autumn breezeA golden sun is shining on my faceThrough tangled thoughts I hear, a mockingbird singThis old world really ain't that bad a placeOh, why?There's no comprehendingAnd 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 wrongThey liedAnd now you're goneAnd we cry'Cause it's not like you to walk away in the middle of a songYour beautiful songYour absolutely beautiful song
