Why did he do it?

By Glynn Withey

What was in his mind the day it all happened ?
Some say it's fate and couldn't stop it happen
You didn't see it coming? those sly remarks
He didn't let on and kept it in the dark

O h my god his fears must've been great
Cos no one in his right mind would have planned his fate
Why did he do it, he had such a future
There was not reason to cut it short sooner

If only I knew how he felt on this date
I would have done anything to stop his fate
But he didn't tell me cos he knew I would
I would have done anything, I mean anything I could

I don't know why? it is such a selfish act
He has left us with the guilt and that's a fact
Why didn't he come to me, we could have talked
We could have discussed it as we walked

When we were together we had so much fun
I would like to know where he got that gun
Why did he do it in such a public place
No one ever thought his life was a disgrace

Now I won't ever get him back
I wish he had of thought of that
There is no problem that could not be solved
He didn't give it a chance, his story wasn't told

Life is too short, don't make it shorter
What do we tell his little daughter
Dad's gone to heaven that's for sure
And it wasn't according to nature's law

Oh my god it's such a waste
A person so young to lose face
I plead with anyone feeling the same
It is your family that will bear the shame

There is always a light at the end of the tunnel
When you're looking from the wrong end of the funnel
What would your problems look like in five years time
I bet they wouldn't be worth a dime
