After all these precious years you chose to just give in
Why did you leave so many things undone
I only scratched the surface of the thoughts you had withinand for me your life had just begun
Why did you think that you were never good enough to givewhen you accepted me right from the start
I never saw the side of you that didn't want to liveand 
I miss you from the bottom of my heart
What was it that you never told a soul about yourselfwhat kind of thoughts were buried insidewas there really no one there you thought would understandor was the only barrier your pridewith so much love around you 
I just wish you'd loved yourself'cos no one here can ever take your placeyou were someone special and my words just can't expresshow much 
I miss the warmth of your embrace
Why did you just give inwhy did you just give up and let it go
I guess I'll never know
It's hard to see you disappear without a real good byethere's so many things 
I wish I'd said
But all the little things you did that made it all worthwhilemeant more than all the tears you ever shed
You always seemed so happy but 
I guess no one can tellwhat goes on inside a persons mindyou loved your children dearly and you did your very bestand someone new like you is hard to find
ChorusAll the things you went through for your children every dayand all the sacrifices that you madewere worth much more than anything that wealth could ever buyand now that love can never be repaid
In the end 
I guess you couldn't take it anymoreso you closed your eyes and swallowed all your pain
I know that you've done the same so many times beforebut all the questions in my mind remain
