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
