"So Close" Lyrics

I sat across the wall
I thought about it all
I said a prayer aloud

So young and full of hate
It's massacred his faith
He drinks the bottle down

What else could I do
He only thought of you
I wanna shout it out

And really I know
The things you don't show
They hurt inside you
Just let it go
It's not really worth
The pain and the hurt
What they do to you
It makes it much worse

Much worse

He sat there in the dark
He'd torn himself apart
Just wishin' he was gone

The letter said it all
Why couldn't he just call
I'm right across the lawn

Loaded gun in hand
Just like he said he'd planned
The shots rang on and on

And really I know
The things you don't show
They hurt inside you
Just let it go
It's not really worth
The pain and the hurt
What they do to you
It makes it much worse

Much worse
