Just one more time for the sake of sanity Tell me why explain the gravity That drove you to this, that brought you to this place That pushed you down into the soil's embrace
Give me the chance I was denied To sit and talk with you for one last time
Did I disappoint you? Did I let you down? Did I stand on the shore and watch you as you drowned? Can you forgive me? I never knew The pain you carried deep inside of you
I can't forget having to see The words that knocked the wind right out of me It's not enough, I've come undone Trying to find sense where there is none
Just give me peace, you owe me that To help ward off the fears I must combat
Did I disappoint you? Did I let you down? Did I stand on the shore and watch you as you drowned? Can you forgive me? I never knew The pain you carried deep inside of you
And so I ask for one more chance To understand this senseless circumstance Help me to see this through your eyes The reasons I've been trying to surmise
Though you are gone, I am still your son And while your pain is over, mine has just begun
Did I disappoint you? Did I let you down? Did I stand on the shore and watch you as you drowned? Can you forgive me? I never knew The pain you carried deep inside of you
