I never walked inside your shoes

I won't pretend what life was like for you

You always kept me close and safe

I wish I could've done the same for you.

I wanna tell you everything

I love you and I mean it

But when you left, I lost my peace of mind.

How could you say goodbye

Without saying goodbye?

How did I stop and notice

You were lost and hopeless

And we still ran out of time?

I know you must have had your reasons to leave us all behind

I'll never know why.

You knew me better than they did

You always took the worst of it alone

You sacrificed so much, I know

A heart of gold but such a tortured soul.

I wanna tell you everything

I love you and I mean it

But when you left, I lost my peace of mind.

How could you say goodbye

Without saying goodbye?

How did I stop and notice

You were lost and hopeless

And we still ran out of time?

I know you must have had your reasons to leave us all behind

I'll never know why.

How could you say goodbye

Without saying goodbye?

How did I stop and notice

You were lost and hopeless

And we still ran out of time?

I just want you to know that you're still loved like you're alive

I wish you knew why.
