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
Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a seventeen year old
Roundin’ third to score that 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 a troubled soul, God only knows
What went wrong, and why you’d leave the stage in the middle of a song
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
Rascal Flatts- why
the first time i heard this song i cried and cried and it made me think a little….

I felt the same way when I heard Adam’s Song by Blink 182.
i just listened to that song and it is amazing i love it
^ a really beautiful comparison
i’m kind of into really soft songs, if you want, you should look up Self-Conclusion by The Spill Canvas
that song is truly beautiful another to add to my favorites
Fade in, start the scene
Enter beautiful girl
But things are not what they seem
As we stand the edge of the world
Excuse me sir,
But I have plans to die tonight
Oh, and you are directly in my way
And I bet you’re gonna say it’s not right
My reply
Excuse me miss,
But do you have the slightest clue
Oh exactly what you just said to me
And exactly who you’re talking to?
She said “I don’t care, you don’t even know me”
I said ” I know but I’d like to change that soon hopefully”
Yeah, We all flirt with the tiniest notion
Of self conlusion in one simplified motion
You see the trick is that you’re never supposed to act on it
No matter how unbearable this misery gets
You make it sound so easy to be alive
But tell me how am I supposed to seize this day
When everything inside of me has died
My reply
Trust me girl
I know your legs are pleading to jump
But I offer you this easy choice, instead of dying living with me
She said “Are you crazy, you don’t even know me”
I said “I know, I’d like to change that soon hopefully”
Yeah, We all flirt with the tiniest notion
Of self conclusion in one simplified notion
You see the trick is that you’re never supposed to act on it
No matter how unbearable this misery gets
I would be lying if I said that things would never get rough
And all this cliche motivation, it could never be enough
I could stand here all night trying to convince you
But what good would that do?
My offer stands, and you must choose
“Alright, you win, but I only give you one night,
To prove yourself to be better than my attempt at flight
And I swear if you hurt me
I will leap
I will toss myself from these very cliffs
And you’ll never see it coming”
“Settle precious, I know what you’re going through,
Cause ten mintues before you got here I was gonna jump too”
Yeah we all flirt with the tiniest notion
Of self conclusion in one simplified motion
You see the trick is that you’re never supposed to act on it
No matter how unbearable this misery get
