You head outside, watched kids fight
Walked away 'cause it wasn't your business
That boy there, his momma's gone
His dad's gonna leave him too
Everything around him makes him feel worthless
1, 2, 3
Take back a second
4, 5, 6
You could save a life
7, 8
You won't feel sorry
9, and 10
Everything's alright
A couple hours later, he died
He killed himself with rope, chair, gravity
That boy there, he looked so tough
If you only knew reality
Everyone around him made him feel worthless
1, 2, 3
Take back a second
4, 5, 6
You could save a life
7, 8
You won't feel sorry
9, and 10
Everything's alright
You thought everything was fine but it's not
Now you're wearing black dress feeling regret
Thoughts come to you that you could have saved his life
If you could go back to the time
But 1, 2, 3
It's too late now
4, 5, 6
Maybe next time
7, 8
You could save life
9, and 10
Now you know when he's gone
You could help out some
1, 2, 3
Take back a second
4, 5, 6
You could save a life
7, 8
Don't feel sorry
9, and 10
'Cause everything's alright
