lyrics

You knocked on our old wooden door 
But you said that you couldn't come in 
Your eyes looked as dark as a hole in the night 
And your smile was wearing so thin 

You turned away from the door 
And I grabbed your arm in dismay 
You looked at me once, a sorrow inside 
Before moving further away 

CHORUS
And the tears rolling down 
I knew you had gone for good 
The choice is your own 
But we never thought you would 
Regret is for now 
But you've left us forever 
And reasons mean nothing to me 
Or you 

I'd ask myself 'why?' every day 
If I thought that you could reply 
Why didn't I see? 
Why couldn't you be the happiest man who's alive? 

The questions seem empty and cold 
Like the church on that warm summer day 
Your songs ringing out a message of hope 
The last thing you wanted to say 

CHORUS

And now it's nearly a year 
Since all we could see through were tears 
Of anger and pain 
Emotions in vain 
That all could be saved, were you here 

CHORUS x 2
