I Never Knew

I never knew about him.
I couldn't feel his pain.
And one thing I didn't know
Is to him, it will always rain.

He always said, 'I wanna die,'
But I didn't understand.
Now all I really want to do
Is take him by the hand.

I remember everything
That he said to me.
'All I want to do is die,
So that I am free.'

He said that no one cared for him,
Like I did that day.
Now look at me, because all I'm doing
Is letting him slip away.

I didn't know about his life
Or that he wanted to die,
Until the day he told me so.
And then he said good-bye.
