Rascal Flatts - Why lyrics

rate me

It must' a been a place so dark, I couldn't feel the light<br />

Reachin' for you through that stormy cloud<br />

Now here we are gathered in our little home town<br />

This can't be the way you meant to draw a crowd<br />

<br />

Oh, why? That's what I keep askin'<br />

Was there anything I could have said or done?<br />

Oh, I had no clue you were masking<br />

A troubled soul, God only knows what went wrong<br />

And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song<br />

<br />

Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a seventeen year old<br />

Around for when you scored the winning run<br />

You always played with passion no matter what the game<br />

When you took the stage, you shined just like the sun<br />

<br />

Oh, why? That's what I keep askin'<br />

And was there anything I could have said or done?<br />

Oh, I had no clue you were masking<br />

A troubled soul, oh, God only knows what went wrong<br />

And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song, yeah, yeah<br />

<br />

Now the oak trees are swayin' in the early autumn breeze<br />

The golden sun is shining on my face<br />

The tangled thoughts, I hear a mockingbird sing<br />

This old world really ain't that bad a place<br />

<br />

Oh, why there's no comprehending?<br />

And who am I to try to judge or explain?<br />

Oh, but I do have one burning question<br />

Who told you life wasn't worth the fight?<br />

They were wrong, they lied and now you're gone and we cried<br />

<br />

'Cause it's not like you to walk away in the middle of a song<br />

Your beautiful song, your absolutely beautiful song<br /><br />
