[Verse 1: Joel Birch & Ahren Stringer]
I was waiting for you man, right down there by the sea
Where we used to meet, to share in our pain and decry misery
I waited, I waited. I waited, I swear!
But when I got down to the ocean, man, you were not fucking there!
[Pre-Chorus: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch]
I just wish that you spoke up, and held out your hand
Because you know I was there man, you know that I cared
[Chorus: Ahren Stringer]
I waited for you
But you never came, no you never came
And now that you're gone
I feel I'm to blame yeah, I feel I'm to blame
[Post-Chorus: Joel Birch]
I wanted to hear it, I wanted to know
[Verse 2: Joel Birch]
I've been grieving, so much, with each passing day
But I'm angry, and hurt, yet I hate you all the same!
[Pre-Chorus: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch]
I just wish that you spoke up, and held out your hand
Because you know I was there man you know that I cared
[Chorus: Ahren Stringer]
I waited for you
But you never came, no you never came
And now that you're gone
I feel I'm to blame yeah, I feel I'm to blame
[Verse 3: Joel Birch & Ahren Stringer]
And I know now you hated life, even more, with each breath
And I know now that you did not, have any fight left
To know you were grieving with each passing day
I know you were grieving with each passing day!
And to know most of all you did not want to say
And I know most of all you did not want to stay
And you know you were grieving with each passing day!
[Outro / Chorus: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch]
I waited for you
But you never came, no you never came
And now that you're gone
I feel I'm to blame yeah, I feel I'm to blame
Did I never listen?
Did I never show, did I never show?
'Cause I wanted to hear
I wanted to hear it, I wanted to know!
I wanted to know

This song I wrote to try and give voice to all the people left behind when a close friend takes their life. The thing that people need to realise when they’re contemplating suicide is that there are many, many devastating repercussions to their actions, it’s not just an easy way out as some people m...
