Way Too Close To Home

Im sitting here in disbelief Of the news I heard today Try'n to come to grips with the signs I missed That are now here on display I can't imagine all the loneliness You must have felt here in the end Now you're free from all lifes sorrows I hope you fly again my friend This is all hitting way too close to home Maybe things would've turned out differently If only I had known It's a shame to say that yesterday We could've talked over a beer Now the thought of ever helping you Lies in the rear view mirror I hear you reached out for help but it never came And while the world keeps on turning The sun still shines the same Everyone lives with the feeling We all share in the blame But now we're sending flowers And sharing in the pain This is all hitting way too close to home Maybe things could've turned out differently If only I had known It's a shame to say that yesterday We could've talked over a beer Now the thought of ever helping you Lies in the rear view mirror Reality wakes us up from dreaming In the times when we least expect the call I know I'm gonna miss you my brother I only wish you hadn't had to fall This is all hitting way too close to home
