Five Minutes Too Late Lyrics

I was just by myself when I got the call.
You were no longer part of this world.
You had been struggling for far so long.
Yet you were the strongest one of all.
If only I was their minutes sooner, you'd still be here.

Five minutes sooner.
You'd still be here with us today
Five minutes sooner
I would of done anything to make you stay
Five minutes is all it would've taken
Just to keep you from making the choice you did

I keep asking myself what went wrong
Why did you feel like you couldn't go on?
I wish I could've seen the signs
And held you close in these arms of mine

Five minutes sooner
You'd still be here with us today
Five minutes sooner I would've done anything to make you stay
Five minutes is all it would've taken To keep you from making the choice you did

I miss you more than words can say
I think about you every single day
I wish I could go back in time
And make sure you knew you were never alone

Five minutes sooner
You'd still be here with us today
Five minutes sooner I would've done anything to make you stay
Five minutes is all it would've taken To keep you from making the choice you did

I know it's not my fault, but I can't help feeling guilty
That I couldn't save you from the pain you felt so deeply I hope you're at peace now, wherever you may be
And know that you were loved by so many
So why did you go and end it all?

Five minutes sooner
You'd still be here with us today
Five minutes sooner I would've done anything to make you stay
Five minutes is all it would've taken
To keep you from making the choice you did

Rest in peace my dear friend
You'll always be in my heart until the very end
I'll cherish the memories we made
And keep your spirit alive in every way.
