You've been dead and gone For way too long it's time to move on Singing all our songs I was wrong I thought that you were strong Now that you gone I think about the times that I was wrong Hate you had to end it, and I have to write this song But maybe up in heaven, you can hear it sing along Took your life at 22 you didn't make it very long when When I tell you that I love you I just hope you know I mean it I try my best to help you your depression seem to beat it Couldn't find direction, so I tried to be the reason that you'd stay I guess I failed cause you decided you'd be leaving Here I am, lonely, hurting more than ever Staring at your pictures even though I know I'll never See you once again, but I hope your life is better I Know you were in pain at least you left me with a letter Said it's not my fault that you decided you would leave The happiest of times you ever had were you and me And then you wrote goodbye took some pills to fall asleep Slowly close your eyes, and now you finally rest in peace You've been dead and gone For way too long it's time to move on Singing all our songs I was wrong I thought that you were strong Wish that I could call you To tell you that I'm sorry Wasn't there to save you now you're gone Dead and gone You're dead and gone I cannot help but blame myself I know it's wrong; it's not my fault I didn't save you why I tell myself I made you When I did everything I could How was I to know when every day you said you good I shoulda read all of the signs the isolation and the silence Should've knew it wasn't right when you talk about you dying Like it's nothing thought the problem of your life that you're living You could die at any moment, and it's tragic that you didn't I thought this was just a phase You would find a way to change The therapy and medicine will make the problems go away We will fall back in love I could help you feel enough Be the reason that you stay when you're close to giving up But I failed, so I apologize that you took your life I was supposed to make you happy but couldn't do it right If I told you that I tried My best then that's a lie Because if I did want to end it and your choice of suicide You've been dead and gone Way too long it's time to move on Singing all our songs I was wrong I thought that you were strong Wish that I could call you To tell you that I'm sorry Wasn't there to save now you're gone Dead and gone
