Why - Rascal Flatts

This is an incredible song by Rascal Flatts about suicide. Whenever I start to think about taking my own life, I put it on my iPod and turn it way up. It reminds me that life IS worth the fight.



It must have been 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 keep I 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
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
Tangled thoughts I hear the mocking bird sing
This old world really ain't that bad a place

There's no comprehending and who am I to try judge or explain?
But I do have one burning question
Who told you life wasnt 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
