I was too young to ever guess
That your life was put to the test
I never knew what sickness was
Unless I was sick
But it was so different
and hit you so quick
I saw the way you looked so lost
How you couldn't even care
bout anything that came at a cost
You stuck it out and dreaded the day
Every time we were around
You wouldn't say anything to us or even make a sound
I couldn't believe the way you suffered
But I was a kid and couldn't help
How mad it mad me that I could ever doubt
You stuck around and had some great times
and then all of a sudden you quit the ride
I didn't believe the day that came
When everyone called and said you gave your own life away
Why you left me I'll never know
It made me so sad that I didn't want to even show
People came and went on
How even though you were gone
That I should just move on
Like everyone else they will never knew
What happened between people and you
I could tell you everything and that's what I missed the most
How come you left me... without saying goodbye
How that made me almost cry...
I'll never forgive the pain that I felt...
Or the people that just said I was in guilt
I'll never know what years could have brought
But always remember you are in my heart
