A single word can tear you down,
Like nothing else can ever do.
I heart can fall to pieces,
From something you never meant to do.
As I sit down & write this,
Someone close is going over the edge.
Why didn't I see what I could cause?

Why didn't I see?
Please hang in there.
Why didn't I know?
Please don't go away.
Why did I do this,
What have I done again?
Why didn't I see?

I broke a heart,
I lost another friend.
Why does everything have to end like this?
I never meant to say those words.
If you can hear me,
If you can see,
I have only two worlds:
"I'm sorry."

Why didn't I see?
Please hang in there.
Why didn't I know?
Please don't go away.
Why did I do this,
What have I done again?
Why didn't I see?

I always ruin it.
Everything I had,
With just the things I say & do.
Everything bad I've done to you.
I always take the gun,
I always shoot a loved one.
I didn't really want to hurt you.

Why didn't I see?
Please hang in there.
Why didn't I know?
Please don't go away.
Why did I do this,
What have I done again?
Why didn't I see?
