If I sat on a bench and just listened
To the pain that ran through your veins
If I walked with you, carried your book bag
Looked and smiled at a distance
From the bruises they laid on you
Would you have made it all the way home
Had I sat at the lunchroom table
As you drenched your school pizza in ketchup
Had I run with you around the track
Gave you a smile
At the moment you were never coming back
When you sat in the corner
Would you have glanced back
Would you have made it all the way home
When I walked by you
When you reached out
I crossed the street when I saw you
Did you decide then
Did
You
Decide
Then
I could have told you
Could have shown you
Something that mattered
Now all I have are these tears
Tears and tomorrow
Years and Regrets
What I didn’t know then
I know now
Wish you would have made it all the way home
