Lyrics

You were just a kid like me
But without a caring family
That's the only difference
Between you and me
Sorrow led to depression
When you realized you didn't pass the test
No one knew what went wrong
No one knew what's going on

It could have been different
Time could have changed who you are
If you had seen your way through all
The troubles and betrayals
No one knew your history
Your soul was a mystery
That was a secret
A wound hidden so deep

No one knew what went wrong
No one knew your favorite song
Or what you did for fun
Or why you always painted the sun
And why you set the house on fire
While you screamed liar to your father
What went through your mind
Born in seventy-two and pulled the trigger in eighty-nine

It could have been different
Time could have changed who you are
If you had seen your way through all
The troubles and betrayals
No one knew your history
Your soul was a mystery
That was a secret
A wound hidden so deep

If I'd known about the tears you cried
And all the struggles you held inside
I would have tried to pick you up
And carry your wounded heart away from your sorrows
Was it me who closed my eyes
When you were down and tired of living your life
Or was it you who wouldn't reveal
All the problems your friends didn't see

It could have been different
Time could have changed who you are
If you had seen your way through all
The troubles and betrayals
No one knew your history
Your soul was a mystery
That was a secret
A wound hidden so deep
I wish I could find you
I wish I could turn back time
