You must have been in a

Place so dark

You couldn't feel the light

Reachin' for you through

That stormy cloud

Now here we are

Gathered in our little hometown

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've

Said or done

Oh, I had no clue you were

Masking

A troubled soul, god only knows

What went wrong and why

You would leave the stage

In the middle of a song

Now in my mind I'll 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'd shine just like the sun

[Chorus]

Oh why, that's what I keep asking

Was there anything I could've

Said or done

Oh, I had no clue you were

Masking

A troubled soul, god only knows

What went wrong and why

You would leave the stage

In the middle of a song

Now the oak trees are swaying

In the early autumn breeze

A golden sun is shining on my face

Through tangled thoughts

I hear a mockingbird sing

This old world really ain't that

Bad of 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

Now you're gone and we cry

'cause it's not like you to

Walk away

In the middle of a song

Your beautiful song

Your absolutely beautiful song
