Why

[Intro] 
       

[Verse 1]
                                        
You must have been in 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

[Chorus]
                   
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’d leave the stage in the middle of a song

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
                                                 
Now in my mind I’ll keep you frozen as a 17 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

[Chorus]
                   
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’d leave the stage in the middle of a song

         
Yeeaah
        

[Bridge]
                                                
Now the oak trees a swaying in the early autumn breeze
                            
The golden sun is shining on my face
                                         
Tangled thoughts I hear the mocking bird sing
                                    
This old world really ain’t that bad a place

[Chorus]
                  
Oh why there’s no comprehending
                    
And who am I to try 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 you’re gone and we cry
                                                           
Cause it’s just not like you to walk away in the middle of a song
                   
Your beautiful song
                       
Your absolutely         beautiful  song
