-- what i know now

i wanted to help her,
but i didn't know how.
i wish i knew then
what i know now.

she used to be happy,
on top of it all.
her life was going great,
until her look took a toll.

her friends all left her,
her good days went bad.
i wish i would've helped her,
when her happiness went sad.

i wanted to help her,
but failed at my tries.
i wish i could've helped her,
hugged her through her cries.

the darkness grew longer,
and she prayed for dawn.
but before it could reach her,
she was gone.

i wish i knew then,
what i know now.
i wanted to help her,
but i didn't know how.
