Intro
The tears swell up in my eyes
look around your sea of cries
no one knows exactly why
you took your life
you were so young
what have you done
(chorus):
but its a wake up call to reality
can't go through life just thinkin bout me
stop and think before you speak
before you say something to tear someone down
one small word, one small thing
just one smile, and one deed
just one time...can change everything
you had so much goin for you
considered one lucky guy
guess something was tough
you thought you couldn't get through
and we're all screaming out "why?"
you thought no one cared
now it's a burden we all have to bear
(chorus)
why...
did it have to end that way
and i...
i wish for that all to change
we all wish we could go back
and change all the past
hopin' when we wake up it'll be gone
you won't be gone
[play only the 1st time]
