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
