Lyrics
Thaddeus

verse 1
Where do you go when you wanna’ be somebody else?
Who do you invite when you don’t wanna’ be by yourself?

We didn’t know your pain we didn’t ask the questions
There’s only loss to gain from this expensive lesson
Was your hope misled, was your courage crawling out?
Were tears ever shed like the way they are falling now?

chorus
Thaddeus were you so mad at us you had to go?
Thaddeus don’t be too mad at us we didn’t know.

verse 2
Was it too hard to get someone to give a damn?
Was there anybody to hear you say, ‘this is who I am’?

Was home not safe , did you feel unlucky?
Was your trust misplaced, did the walls get stuck again?
Were your dreams haunted, is that why your things were all packed away?
Did you feel unwanted, why weren’t you good enough today?

chorus
Thaddeus were you so mad at us you had to go?
Thaddeus don’t be too mad at us we didn’t know.

bridge
A prism of despair kept you afraid of this affair
Took you anywhere but here
I guess you thought nobody cared
Makes me wonder why, was there just too much to hide?
Many questions left behind
Are you alright now?

chorus
Thaddeus were you so mad at us you had to go?
Thaddeus don’t be too mad at us we didn’t know.
We didn’t know.
