Rascal Flatts

Tonight I went back to the suicide survivors group which by the way I still haven't decided if I like, I mean the people are great but the concept is rough. But I will continue to go because I feel like I have taken a little something away both times now. Each time you go you state who died this time we had to name them by name, what relationship they were to you and how they died. It sucks yea I know. Therapeutic in a weird way. I don't think I have said my dad's name out loud since he died because I always call him dad saying his actual name tonight was hard. Anyways after we did that facilitator played this song by Rascal Flatts. They nailed this song and yes the whole room was crying.



There is no video so here are the lyrics:

It must a been a place so dark, couldn't feel the light
Reachin' for you through that stormy cloud
Now here we are gathered in our little home town
This can't be the way you meant to draw a crowd

Oh why that's what I keep askin'
Was there anything I could have said or done
Oh I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul, god only knows
What went wrong and why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Mmmmmmm

Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a seventeen year old
Rounding third to score the winning run
You always played with passion no matter what the game
When you took the stage you shined just like the sun

Oh why that's what I keep askin'
Was there anything I could have said or done
Oh I had no clue you were masking the troubled soul, oh god only knows
What went wrong and why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Yeah yeah yeah

Now the oak trees are swayin' in the early autumn breeze
The golden sun is shining on my face
The tangled thoughts I hear a mockingbird sing
This old world really ain't that bad a place

Oh why there's no comprehending
And who am I to try to judge or explain
Oh but I do have one burning question
Who told you life wasn't worth the fight
They were wrong
They lied
And now you're gone
And we cried

Cause It's not like you to walk away in the middle of a song

Your beautiful song
Your absolutely beautiful song

Oh Deidra! I am so sorry. I wish I could just hug you right now.

Incredible song, heart breaking. Glad you are getting something out of the group each time, and I'm sure it's very hard. One day at a time...

Hi Deidra,
You, are in my thought's + Prayer's always. Wish, I was there to give you a hug right now.
I, can't even imagine what you are going through. I, am glad
you, and Cliff are going to the
Support Group. It, does help
to talk to other people who have been through it themselves. Take care, and God Bless.

I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I had no idea. I saw your link to your blog on facebook and checked it out.
