• Young face etched with years
    Far beyond your time
    I could see the breaking point
    Written in every line

    Too much, it was too much to bear
    For such a fragile soul
    Trying to direct a storm
    That was out of your control

    I should have been there
    And held you as you cried
    But now you’re lost forever
    Without a last goodbye

    Your dreams lay broken at my feet
    Cast carelessly like a precious stone
    How could you just throw them away
    And leave me here alone

    Why wasn’t I upon your shoulder
    As you held the metal to your skin
    Closing your eyes and pulling the trigger
    The pain pouring out from within

    I should have been there
    And held you as you cried
    But now you’re lost forever
    Without a last goodbye

    I see you when I hear a song
    I see you in the starlit sky
    I see you when I touch the sand
    I see you when I close my eyes

    I should have been there
    And held you as you cried
    But now you’re lost forever
    And this is my last goodbye
