It must a been a place so dark, couldn't feel the light
Reachin' for you through that stormy cloud
Now here we are gathered in our little home town
This can't be the way you meant to draw a crowd
Oh why that's what I keep askin'
Was there anything I could have said or done
Oh I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul, god only knows
What went wrong and why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Mmmmmmm
Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a seventeen year old
Rounding third to score the winning run
You always played with passion no matter what the game
When you took the stage you shined just like the sun [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/r/rascal_flatts/why.html ]
Oh why that's what I keep askin'
Was there anything I could have said or done
Oh I had no clue you were masking the troubled soul, oh god only knows
What went wrong and why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Yeah yeah yeah
Now the oak trees are swayin' in the early autumn breeze
The golden sun is shining on my face
The tangled thoughts I hear a mockingbird sing
This old world really ain't that bad a place
Oh why there's no comprehending
And who am I to try to judge or explain
Oh but I do have one burning question
Who told you life wasn't worth the fight
They were wrong
They lied
And now you're gone
And we cried
Cause It's not like you to walk away in the middle of a song
Your beautiful song
Your absolutely beautiful song

I was looking up the lyrics because: i heard the words "who told you life wasn't worth the fight - they were wrong - they lied". I have bipolar depression and have contemplated suicide on & off for many years, recently i have not been able to find my reason to stay so well. When i read the entire song - at least i don't feel so alone.

About a young man who had no fight left in his life.. He tryed to hide the pain inside of him, he kills himself to not feel anything anymore. It's a depressing song but a song everyone needs to hear to know that people do kill themselfs without signs..

This song is about my twin brother... It's not like him to leave me. His suicide left me half a person. It's not like him to leave the stage in the middle of our lives. I love you larry and will forever miss you

I first heard this song a couple of days ago and it hit home like a ton of bricks. My beloved brother billy commited suicide when he was 17 ( the part when i keep u frozen as a 17 year old, wow!! ) i was only 10 at the time and now i am 42 now so needless 2 say this song tells it like it is and it is most definitely a beautiful song!! Thank u rascal flatts!!! :)
My friend hung himself when he was 16 in 2007. He left no note and gave no warning. Didn't show signs. He was loved and just a great kid. I heard this song probably a year and a half or two(not sure when it came out) after his death. Hearing this song made me decide to go into clinical psychology to help diagnose mental illness. Depression can be treated and people that are suicidal can be helped. When someone says they're going to end their life, immediately call someone that can help them. Don't take it lightly because you never know.
I strongly dislike country. And i listened to this song on accident. And i started crying. Because i'd considered suicide, many times, and it just made me break down. Damn.
