Story Behind The Song
The song was written after a close friend told me the story of losing their best friend to suicide when she was 14. She was his best friend and the only one he talked to. She knew he had a problem but certainly wasn't old enough to know how to handle it and has struggled with the fact she couldn't help him until this day.

Lyrics
Think about everything, don't make sense to me
Then again it really does, just don't wanna believe
Cause you meant everything to me
And now it will never be the same
Chorus:
I don't understand why, you had to go
You had to get out of here
And I can't let go, there's not enough
Time in the world for this to heal
And the worst part is you couldn't stay
The worst part is you couldn't stay for me
All those words you said, I can't seem to forget
Can't get it off my mind, it burns like a fire inside my soul
Oh you meant everything to me
But now, it's too late to call your name
Chorus
You saw things you shouldn't have to see
And I stood there through everything
I can't let go of this, can't let go of you
How was I supposed to know
What to say or where to go
I can't let go of this
I'll never let go of you
Chorus
Think about everything, don't make sense to me
Then again it really does, I just don't wanna believe
