It must a been a place so dark, couldn't feel thelightReachin' 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 askin'Was there anything I could have said or doneOh I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul, god only knowsWhat went wrong and why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a songMmmmmmmNow 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 thegameWhen you took the stage you shined just like the sunOh why that's what I keep askin'Was there anything I could have said or doneOh I had no clue you were masking the troubled soul, oh god only knowsWhat went wrong and why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a songYeah yeah yeahNow the oak trees are swayin' in the early autumnbreezeThe golden sun is shining on my faceThe 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 explainOh but I do have one burning questionWho told you life wasn't worth the fightThey were wrongThey liedAnd now you're goneAnd we criedCause It's not like you to walk away in the middle of a songYour beautiful songYour absolutely beautiful song
