I saw you giving up
What could I do
Who's to say when their time has come
I thought you had so much life ahead
You were still so young
This will plague me
For the rest of my life
Will I ever know
If I did what was right
But when you can't go on
When your strength was gone
I tried to be a shoulder to lean on
But all along, who was I to stop you
When did you let go
And when can I let go
When can I forgive myself
You were the best I knew and I was unprepared
Now you're just a picture on my shelf
This will plague me
For the rest of my life
Will I ever know
If I did what was right
But when you can't go on
When your strength was gone
I tried to be a shoulder to lean on
But all along, who was I to stop you
I saw your eyes go dark (The lights went out)
And when they lost that spark (The lights went out)
I felt it tear me apart (And something)
Felt the hole in my heart (Inside me died)
And I can't fill it now (And something)
No I can't fill it now (Inside me died)
And now a year's gone past
The time it flew
But I'm still trying to move on
I think I'm getting there but it's still crystal clear
My heart will carry a piece of you
But when you can't go on
When your strength was gone
I tried to be a shoulder to lean on
But all along, who was I to stop you
