Why - Rascal Flatts

It must a been a place so dark, couldn’t feel the light

Reachin' 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 askin'

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

Mmmmmmm

Now in my mind I 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 shined just like the sun

Oh why that’s what I keep askin'

Was there anything I could have said or done

Oh I had no clue you were masking the troubled soul, oh god only knows

What went wrong and why you’d leave the stage in the middle of a song

Yeah yeah yeah

Now the oak trees are swayin' in the early autumn breeze

The golden sun is shining on my face

The tangled thoughts I hear a mockingbird sing

This old world really ain’t that bad 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

And now you’re gone

And we cried

Cause It’s not like you to walk away in the middle of a song

Your beautiful song

Your absolutely beautiful song
