questions unanswered
what I wouldn't give
to turn back time
take back what I said
and the way I treated you
(why?)
Now you're gone
and I can't help but wonder
if I'm not partially to blame
(why didn't you tell someone?)
if I'd shown you love
would you still be here?
if I'd really cared
would you still be gone?
(why didn't I see your cry for help?)
I thought you were ok on your own
I never knew
your deep insecurities
(why did you cut short your own time?)
your need for love, your need for attention
your need for a friend, your need for affection
(why did you take your own life?)
How could you leave me to wonder
what I could have done?
Why didn't you take me with you
instead of leaving me here alone?
(why did you leave us?)
even now words aren't enough
and my questions are still unanswered
why can't you leave me in peace?
(why?)

betrayal of a friend
have you been the prodigal?
