The Pain You Left Behind

It seems that you were lost

In the darkness of your thoughts

The voices lied to you and you chose to listen

You were caught up in the silence, the pain of the moment

Now that it's all over

It's too late to change your mind

Now that it's all over

It's too late to ask you why

What about the pain you left behind

Did you ever stop to think of this

And what about all the ones who loved you

Who didn't have a chance to say goodbye

You thought you were alone

But you couldn't have been more wrong

You had a beautiful life

You could have chosen to be strong

But now we're left with the pieces

And the painful memories of a life that's lost

So I want to know

We want to know

What about the pain you left behind

Did you ever stop to think of this

And now I know a pain I'd never known

All because of one choice that you made

Caught by a lie

And now you're gone

And for you it's all over

But for me it never dies

Caught by a lie

Now you're gone

And for you it's all over

But for me the pain will never die

The gun you held in your hand

Was never your friend

The pain you felt would have passed

And faded in time

But I will always remember you

I remember you

My friend I'll never forget

But the last choice you made

I'll always regret

What about the pain you left behind

Did you ever stop to think of this

And now I know a pain I've never known

All because of one choice that you made

You chose a lie

For the rest of our lives

We'll be asking why
