Dead and Gone

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
