lyrics

I’m often sad and lonely
Now I understand the pain that was
Growing in you day and night
And if I would have opened my eyes
Then I would have seen the struggle and
All the lies you kept inside your head

Why did you have to leave
Now I’m just left to grieve
I could have helped you heal
Now heartache is all I feel

The one thing I try to remember is
Nothing could have been done to save you
But really that’s a lie I tell myself
I’ll calm down for a while and smile
Use some substance to gain some strength but I’ll
Never be the same as I was before
And if I would have opened my eyes
Then I would have seen the struggle and
All the lies you kept inside your head

Why did you have to leave
Now I’m just left to grieve
I could have helped you heal
Now heartache is all I feel
