Travelling down a lonely road..
Oh what a heavy burden you must have felt
that you carried..
Although you always wore a smile to hide your frown..
Things might have ended quite differently.
You know you let so many people down..

We can't always see inside of you..
We can't always be expected to know
if you don't say..
But hindsight is always twenty twenty..
At least that's what they say..

Why did you make the choice to just checkout..
We could have found a better way..
Where twilight's always dark and cold,
Tomorrow's always another day..

And I know that you weren't thinking
At the time about anyone but you..
But trust me we're not holding
that against you,

But maybe if we knew..
If you had tried to talk this over..
Might the ending have been rearranged..
If you had let us in , leaned on us.
Maybe you'd still be here and ok..
Where you belong..
Who's to say..If you had waited for a new day.

So many times I've asked the question why..
How could you just leave us without even saying good-bye,
So many times I've wondered all the what ifs
And never any answers.. no reasons why..it is what it is..

Nobody is indestructible..
None of us should think
That if we choose to end it all..
Someone will save us in the nick of time..
But I know that's what you were counting on,

And then time got in your way..
You didn't really want to go....
This we all know..
But now you're gone away...
If only hindsight was twenty twenty
Then I guess we might have known..
Oh Jay.. why did you have to end it all this way?
I'd give up anything, if only you could have stayed..
Please God keep him in your sight... I pray.
For Jay.
