Lyrics

Was a cold dark day when I heard the news
It couldn’t be true
It hit so hard I just told myself
It couldn’t be you
Then slowly creeping through my brain
Were those thoughts I’d had before
That time you didn’t look so good
When you showed up at my door

All those years that we played guitar
And I stood by your side
I never could play as good as you
And Lord knows I tried
I was sure you would reach the stars
There was little doubt at all
Only thought of how high you’d fly
Never thought how far you’d fall

Was it ’cause you were lonely
That it all went so wrong?
Were you just tired of trying
To write that hit song
I’ll never know the reason why
What made you want to go
You were so easy to be with
And so hard to know

Now I heard all the stories
Crazy things that you’d do
They were told with such glory
And I witnessed a few
But of all the crazy things you’d do
And the crazy things you’d say
I never could imagine you
Would end it all this way

Always pushing the limit
Always raising the bar
But that night down in Nashville
You took things too far
You always wore that playful smile
Sadness didn’t show
You were so easy to be with
And so hard to know
So hard to know
