All I Had To Do was Listen

The sky was grey
Like any other day
The streets were moist with rain
And soon my heart would rain too

You told me to get out of the car, to get away
You told me to runaway
You told me never see you
And it tore me down

I ran away from you
Like you told me to
I saw a knife in your hand
And not even a second passed
I already could understand

You were going through something
And it was something I couldn't cure
And you decided to let go today
I should have known, but I wasn't sure

Now your scream haunts me
Your scream when you killed yourself
I can never be the same
I can never be my old self

Theres nothing much I could say
At your funeral on Sunday
It felt so bad
I felt so wrong
I felt so guilty
So I wrote this song

I sat in the front row
Staring at your coffin with tears
I sat in the front row
Because I loved you for years

I have this hurt
Deep inside my heart
A big regret
Because I did nothing while you were falling apart

I should have been there
Even though I saw nothing
I should have listened
I should have done something

As I sing my regrets
Everyone else examines your dead cold face
Your mother kept telling me to look
But my heart was out of place

I didn't want to see you
For the very first time I didn't want to see you
I was afraid of what I'd do
Because I blamed this on myself, and what you went through

You told me to get away
You told me to runaway
You told me to never see you
And it tore me down

I knew it was over
But why did you have to that
Why did you have to go that far?
I shouldn't have listened to you
I should have stayed in the car

I shouldn't have ran away
I should have have stayed
I should have known
Why your mother said you weren't home

You told me to get away
You told me to runaway
You told me never see you
And it tore me down

Its too late to save you now
Its too late
Its too late
Forever I'll be in this sad state

I'd always come to you when I felt this way
And now your dead
Theres nothing I can say
Because I'd only tell you

I'd only tell you everything
And what I was going through
I shouldn't have let you listen to me
Not every single day
I should have been quiet
And asked "How was your day?"

I can't believe
I was that blind to not see
That I wasn't the only one who felt the way I did
You did too
And the day you left me our friendship forever hid
