Were you asking for help?
Were you calling my name?
You're gone
Could it be that I am to blame?
You were something
that the world wanted you to be
But you were someone else
That they'd never see
And you smiled and shinned
While your light died inside
Did you need an escape?
Were you reaching out?
Is that what this
was all about?
They say you had no right
To be so sad
But I can't deny
I know it can hurt so bad
When they're standing before you
Waiting for you to be
Someone you're not
And they'll never see
How it breaks you up inside
when you are able to force a smile
that actually reaches your eyes
And they say you had no right
To get so depressed
When you had fame and fortune
and all of the best
They say you had no right
to leave
And when they say it, I cry
Because I believe
I may have been
A world away from you
But I know exactly
What you went through
I know how it felt
I know what you saw
when you looked at the world
and were stricken with awe
And I feel so bad
Because we never really met
But across the distance, we held hands
And I'll never forget
How I lay still
And let my spirit touch yours
And how you reached back
with such great force
Because maybe we both needed to believe
That somehow
In someway
we weren't alone
And we were linked together
And somewhow, we were home
So is it my fault?
Should I have searched?
And when I saw you
Would I have known who you were?
Because they say you had no right
To feel so bad
But they can't see
Just how much right you had
So I deserve the right to cry
I deserve the right to say goodbye
I deserve the right to feel alone
And the right to feel
The blame is my own
