Her Reason

I knew the person who used to live here
I knew her very well
She sang songs to keep her from going mad
She wrote them down to keep her from getting sad

I knew the reason why she had no friends
I knew it very well
They all should've known
That she liked to be alone

I knew the reason why she was silent
I knew it very well
She would barely ever talk
She would look down at her feet while she walked

I knew the reason she watched the clouds
I knew it very well
She would like it when it would rain
It made her forget most of her pain

I knew the reason she went outdoors
I knew it very well
She liked the wind in her hair
It made her feel like someone cared

I knew the reason she liked the dark
I knew it very well
She would sit under the stars and moon
She knew she would join them very soon

I knew the reason she cried at night
I knew it very well
She fell in love with the wrong person
He locked his heart and wouldn’t let her in

I know the reason she took her life
The same reason she stole that knife
The reason she locked that door
The reason she won't cry anymore
The reason for her last tear
The reason she doesn’t live here
I know it very well

I'm the reason why she's gone
I broke her heart and just moved on
I knew the person who used to live here
I knew her very well
