​don’t have nightmares anymore

why'd you have to die?
why'd you have to die?
why'd you have to die, leave your friends behind
and leave me empty inside?

alone on the freeway headed for the cliff, no
wish i had reached out before you slipped, off
so young and tortured, but no one knew, no
til the casket was closed, the tears drip, down

i don't know what was going on in your head
i wish you would have talked to me instead
we were both so far away still i wonder why you

why'd you have to die?
why'd you have to die?
why'd you have to die, leave your friends behind
and leave me empty inside?

standing on the edge where you once did, late at night, cold
just a minute ago, we were young kids, where'd the time, go
but if i'm lucky, i'll see you soon, somewhere else, whoa
i hope you're well, and content, somewhere else, whoa

i don't know what was going on in your head
i wish you would have talked to me instead
we were both so far away still i wonder why you

why'd you have to die?
why'd you have to die?
why'd you have to die, leave your friends behind
and leave me empty inside?

why'd you have to run away
leave us all distraught
why'd you try to disappear
and just be forgot?
why'd you have to run away
what hurt you so bad
what hurt you so bad
