Broken He was the one who When it was all said and done Showed the broken smile Tried to win the heart of everyone And he was the one who Got laughter from all around But in the end it was he who Left us all without a sound He didn't say that he was leaving He never said he was through He never implied a meaning He just wanted something that he never found in me or you So I ask you now To tell yourself We're not the same, a different part in the same scene I'm not the best, not the worst And I know just how it hurts When your world is painted in gray If I could take it back, I'd do it today I saw his shadow in the rain today And I heard his laughter in the wind With all that was left I said the words That no doubt would have earned his forgiveness Footprints left in the dust No time left for smiles or trust And the day stretched bleak before me As I hung my head in shame He never asked for miracles And he didn't ask for tomorrow And the clouds obscured our vision And all the days are standing hollow So I'll beg you now To tell yourself We're not the same, a different part in this play I'm not the best, not the worst But I know all about how bad this hurts When your world is painted in gray If I could take it back, I'd do it today If I could take it back, I'd do it today
