Why, Vol. 2

I wish I could see your face
I wish I could've been there before you died
I wish I could've been your friend
I wish I could've told you your worth

But I guess that's for the afterlife
I guess you'll know that later
And I write this song in your honor, friend
I write this for you
Every time I hear pieces I die inside

Why did you have such a bad life
Why did you have to suffer
Why did she have to control it
Why did she have to torture your mind and soul
Know that you were worth everything
And know I could've told you the truth

But I guess that's for the afterlife
I guess you'll know that later
And I write this song in your honor, friend
I write this for you
Every time I hear pieces I die inside

I know you're on your stairway to Heaven
You deserve the peace
Not the pieces
But I guess you couldn't have that, no
Not in this life, no
You're gonna have the greatest days
I'll make sure of it
You deserve so much better
I know we never talked that much
We didn't start off the best
But you meant so much to me
And you never even knew

All I'm wondering is why
All I'm wondering is why
Why
Why
Why

But I guess that's for the afterlife
I guess you'll know that later
And I write this song in your honor, friend
I write this for you
Every time I hear pieces I die inside
Oh, know that you mean so much to me still
