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
|
