lyrics

Narration: I'm about to tell you the story of my life. More specifically, why my life ended. And if you're listening to these tapes, you're one of the reasons why.

Thirteen tapes in a box with my name
Nothing would ever be the same
The voice of a girl with empty desk
Once more in my ears to confess

Static crackles and my insides go numb
Telling the story to which I know the outcome
And suddenly Hannah's words are in my ears
The last of hers I'll ever hear

PRECHORUS
As I walk along and you say goodbye
Telling me the thirteen reasons why

CHORUS
I could've helped, I could've stayed
I need to hear what she has to say
So I press play...Mmmmm I press play

Narration: And, Clay...I'm sorry too.

Thirteen tapes, which one is mine?
Will I learn how I lead to her demise?
If could have saved you Hannah, you know
Could've pulled your from the undertow

But because I left when you told me to
I'm left with just a ghost of you
So many signs I should have seen
None of us have our hands clean

PRECHORUS

CHORUS

PRECHORUS AND CHORUS LAYERED

Narration: I guess that's the point of it all. No one knows for certain the impact they have on the lives of other people. Often times we have no clue. And yet we push it just the same

PRECHORUS AND CHORUS LAYERED

Narration: A lot of you cared...just not enough. I'm sorry.
