	Story Behind the Song I wrote this close to 2 years after his death when I had just moved to Calgary. I was walking in my new neighborhood and noticed that the leaves were dying and fall was near. I was swept back to those tragic days following his death. I remember those days more clearly than any others in my life. His death shocked the school; he was one of the smartest kids at the school and definitely one of the most liked. He hung out with all the groups from the skids to the band. I was hanging out with his best friends in the days to follow and it was hard to see them crushed so badly. He had everything, a great family, long summers sailing on the pacific and the potential to do anything he wanted in the future. High School can be tough on everyone, he didnt have any problems at school, but in his mind he saw nothing but problems. He couldn’t deal with his depression and felt he needed to escape forever. Lyrics The leaves turn brown + Start to fall to the ground Hes sick of this life Sick of waiting around Hes only sixteen No longer has any dreams Not even sure of what life means anymore It started a month ago Now the feelings have grown What could life hold for him? Cause he doesnt know Nothings gone right today + She still wont say If that is the case It doesn’t matter when he goes Cant stand the pain anymore Its driving him down to the floor Wont take anymore risks Cause every time he gets dissed This time he swears he'll do it His lifes as good as through with Never meant to hurt anyone The sadness has just begun If only he knew all the people left behind All the pain that brought those tears to their eyes His loss is still around even two years gone by Every now and then I ask the question why? I’ll remember those next few days As if they were the last Some of those faces have faded away But together we’ll remember Those days gone by And the boy we once knew With all knowing green eyes If only he knew all the people left behind All the pain that brought those tears to their eyes Holding on to all the strength he never found A friend that once was now six feet underground
