It must a been a place so dark, 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 masking a troubled soul, god only knows
What went wrong and why you'd 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'
Was there anything I could have said or done

Oh I had no clue you were masking the troubled soul, oh god only knows
What went wrong and why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Yeah yeah yeah


Now the oak trees are swayin' in the early autumn breeze
The golden sun is shining on my face

The 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

And 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
