I do not own Teen Wolf or this song.
'Why - Rascal Flatts'
You must have been in a
Place so dark
You couldn't feel the light
Reachin' for you through
That stormy cloud
Now here we are
Gathered in our little hometown
This can't be the way
You meant to draw a crowd
"How could he do this to us?" I said wiping the tears off of my face. I've spent the last 2 weeks being angry and frustrated, hoping it was all a dream.
Derek shrugged and put a supportive hand on my shoulder.
"I don't know, Scott, but we'll get through this as a pack, I promise."
Oh why, that's what I keep asking
Was there anything I could've
Said or done
Oh, I had no clue you were
Masking
A troubled soul, God only knows
What went wrong and why
You would leave the stage
In the middle of a song
"If you'd all take your seats please, so we can start the ceremony." The priest said at the front of the church.
"We're all gathered here today to say fair well to the energetic, but caring, loving 'Stiles' Stilinski."
Now in my mind I'll keep you frozen
As a seventeen-year-old
Rounding third to score the
Winning run
You always played with passion
No matter what the game
When you took the stage
You'd shine just like the sun
I look over to the Sheriff, he has his head resting on his arms that were leaning on his thighs. My mum, rubbing a soothing hand over his back.
Oh why, that's what I keep asking
Was there anything I could've
Said or done
Oh, I had no clue you were
Masking
A troubled soul, God only knows
What went wrong and why
You would leave the stage
In the middle of a song
He should have told me what he was feeling. I knew something was wrong, why didn't I act on my instincts or scent?! He could have gone to Derek, as our Alpha, he could have helped.
Now the oak trees are swaying
In the early autumn breeze
A golden sun is shining on my face
Through tangled thoughts
I hear a mockingbird sing
This old world really ain't that
Bad of a place
Every year on the anniversary, I go see him, tell him about how my life is going, how his dad is doing, who is now engaged to my mum.
"We would have been brothers, ya know?" I smile. I laugh at the thought of two best friends becoming brothers. How, if he were still alive, how would that have planned out.
Oh why, there's no comprehending
And who am I to try to
Judge or explain
Oh, but I do have one
Burning question
Who told you life wasn't
Worth the fight
They were wrong, they lied
Now you're gone and we cry
'Cause it's not like you to
Walk away
In the middle of a song
Your beautiful song
Your absolutely beautiful song
"It was good talking to you buddy, but I've got to go, Allison and Geniem would be wondering where I am. He asked me the other day where he got his name from. We had to explain to him he got it from the best man his mum and dad had the privilege to ever have known." I smiled sadly, standing up, dusting off my pants.
"I miss you, buddy." I said running my hand across the tomb stone.
And I walked away with the thought still in my head 'Why?'.
My step-dad killed himself a few years ago, and I remember being SO angry for him doing that to his family. I just kept saying to myself 'Why would you do that?' 'How could you do that?' So this song actually means a lot to me.
