"Why" by Rascal Flatts

If you've ever lost someone to suicide, the new Rascal Flatts' album, Unstoppable, has a song that will touch your heart.  It's called Why and it's worth the $1.29 download from itunes.  

You must have been in a place so dark 

You couldn't feel the light

Reaching 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 asking 

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'll keep you frozen as a 17 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 shined just like the sun 

Oh why? That's what I keep asking 

Was there anything I could have said or done?

Oh, I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul 

Oh 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 

The golden sun is shining on my face

In tangled thoughts I hear the mocking bird sing 

"this old world really ain't that bad a place"

Oh, why? There's no comprehending and who am I to try judge or explain?

But I do have one burning question 

Who told you life wasn't worth the fight? 

They were wrong 

They lied 

Now your gone and we cry 

It's just not like you to walk away in the middle of a song 

Your beautiful song 

Your absolutely beautiful song
