"Tim's Song" Lyrics Critique-Country

by KLD
(USA)

The suicide of my cousin inspired this song. A little depressing and kinda long I know but I had to get it out. Let me know what you think.



You were stuck down in a hole
Too dark to see the light
Couldn't see the hands
Reaching out
Couldn't find the will to fight

And in a single selfish moment
Couldn't find the strength to stand
You kissed your babies one last time
Took fate into your hands

Chorus:
Oh tell me why
Why, would you leave us like that?
and how could you do this way?
And looking back do you regret
the choice you made that day?
Oh tell me why

Now you've left us with a void
That no one else can fill
You had it all
A wife, three kids, a loving God
But still

Things were getting so bad
No problem could be solved
You could think of just one way
Your fears could be dissolved

Chorus

You left your kids alone
They idolized their dad
Wish you could hear the things they say
Never seen a kid so sad

Was this your only option?
No answers could be found?
The only place you knew to go
Was six feet under ground?

Oh tell me why
Why would you leave us like that?
and how could you do us this way?
And looking back do regret the choice you made that day?
And can you see the tears on the cheeks
of the ones that loved you most
and can you hear your wife as she cries
in that bedroom all alone?
Oh tell me why
why
why would you go?
