[Intro]
You (you, you, you, you, you, you)
You (you, you, you, you, you, you)
You (you, you, you, you, you, you)
You (you, you, you, you, you, you)

[Verse 1]
The end of June came
And took you away
We were all crying
Felt like I was dying

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Black dress & black shoes
Tied laces for you
The saddest of days
Why couldn’t we save you?

[Chorus]
(You, you, you, you, you, you)
Why couldn't we save you
(You, you, you, you, you, you)

[Verse 2]
Inside my head
At the edge of the bed
Where somberness lay
In your children that day
[Pre-Chorus 2]
As goodbyes are spent
Holding on to what’s left
The saddest of days
Why couldn’t we save you?

[Chorus]
(You, you, you, you, you, you)
Why couldn't we save you
(You, you, you, you, you, you)

[Verse 3]
Nothing but ashes
In the old fire place
With all of the memories
He has erased

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Heavier heels
His mourning concealed
On the saddest of days
Why couldn’t we save you?

[Chorus]
(You, you, you, you, you, you)
Why couldn't we save you
(You, you, you, you, you, you)
(You, you, you, you, you, you)
(You, you, you, you, you, you)
