If only you'd pushed that thought

Somehow you’ve left us all behind
In shock and despair
Unspoken words, in a single thought
Frozen in a violent shudder
Don’t know if you thought about it
Before you pulled the trigger
I imagine what may have come of the day
If you had pushed that thought another moment…


I can’t imagine what took you to that place
Can’t imagine why you would go in such disgrace
I can’t imagine why you would…
I can’t imagine why

There are so many reasons why
You shouldn’t have done what you did
So many moments from now
When we will think about it
And wonder what we did wrong
Wonder why you are gone
I imagine what may have come of the day
If you had pushed that thought another moment…

I wonder – had our paths crossed that dreadful day
Would you have then played it another way?
Then would I be wrong in blaming destiny
To not have given you that moment of dignity
To not have put another question in your mind
Which could have pushed that moment further in time…

But here we are
In shock and despair
Unspoken words, in a single thought
Frozen in a violent shudder
Don’t know if you thought about it all
Before you pulled the trigger
I imagine what may have come of the day
If you had pushed that thought another moment…
