Sometimes we're left to uncover the wreckage

At the mercy of another's decision.

He was almost seventeen

Decided life was not worth living

Put a gun to his pain

To finally make it go away.

I hope you know that you're missed

And even though your shell is gone,

In our hearts you still exist

I just wish you knew how much you meant

To everyone around you

To those you never met.

He was too young

Taken by his own hand

No one would understand

Why he ended it all.

But now you're gone.

You left a hole in the hearts of those who treasured you the most

You may have left your mark but you left us all in the dark.

So I'll sing

For the weak

For the broken, those in need

And I'll keep

My heart in reach

Left wide open, set you free

You were loved.

I always saw the light in you and a smile on your face

Full of passion, full of purpose, ready to take your place

I guess we'll never understand why you chose to say goodbye

But when a future is as bright as yours, we are left to wonder why.

He was too young

Taken by his own hand

No one would understand

Why he ended it all.

You're never coming back

There's so many things I wish I would've said

The flashbacks replay in my head

This song is all that I have

Because you're never coming back.
