The One You Let By

(Verse 1)
I never knew her too well,
but all in all it's still a shame,
because we let it happen over time.
Oh but who do we have to blame?

I said she was her soul captain,
she saw past the fog in her eyes.
I think she's somewhere past the brink of life,
maybe in her own personal paradise.

(Chorus)
Now I'm not saying much about what comes next.
But personally I want to have something to expect.
You'll pray for her but you preach against,
what she did so now you pretend,
that she's all right; the one you let by,
but you didn't care when she started to cry.

(Verse 2)
They said nothing's gonna be the same.
They said come on girl pull through the game.
She saw straight what she wanted to do,
but don't fret, it wasn't because of you.

A stranger in her own state of mind,
brushing off what life had started to give.
You don't always get what you go out to find,
but yesterday she just didn't want to live.

(Chorus x 1)

(?)
There's nothing more you have to fear.
I know you don't know me but I'm right here.
If you're still there on the other side,
will you come out and touch this heart of mine?

I need someone with a will like yours,
to make my life less and less worse.
Too bad I didn't get to know you when you were here,
but I don't know if we'll ever meet my dear...

Our chances are slim,
but keep up your hopes,
and never ever ever,
let them dim.

I said she was her soul captain,
she saw past the fog in her eyes.
I think she's somewhere past the brink of life,
maybe in her own personal paradise.

My favourite verse!

This is a sad song yet, wonderfully written. At the end, a glimmer of hope emerges which made me smile. Thank you again and keep writing!
