Why did you have to be so stupid
Why did you have to do that ****
Why did you let yourself go down that path
Why would you think it’d turn out any different
Who gave you that ****
Who encouraged you to act a fool
Why did you slip away
Why did you push away your friends
Why didn’t you think to get help
Did you think we’d judge you
Cause we wouldn’t have
We would have been mad
Out of fear that this could happen
No other reason
We would have screamed
But it would have been out of love
For none of us wanted you to leave
No one wanted this to happen
We feared for it
We wished anything but this
Being arrested again, or ending up in the hospital
Seems like a party
Compared to this
Now you’ve left us all
Left us to wonder
Why you slipped so far
Why we didn’t try and help
We would have all helped
We would have all been there for you
But you wouldn’t reach out
You just let that needle numb the pain
You let what kept you from us replace us
You let a drug push your friends away
Then turned to it to relieve the pain of them being gone
I know I can’t know what you thought on your last day
But if you had come to us instead
If you had looked for help from us
We would have gladly held you
And helped you get through it
But now you’re gone
And we just wonder why
Why did you let yourself go
Why did you think it was a good idea
Why didn’t you let us try
Why in the hell did you have to die
