Wish I Knew

[Verse I]
One, two, three, four, five
You know you're alive
Six and seven, eight
This is not a game
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
Have a feeling you're in hell
Thirteen, fourteen and fifteen
Will you make it to sixteen?

[Chorus]
Girl, I wish I knew
And I wished I knew
There is nothing new
There is nothing new
Girl, you started this
Wish I could fix this
But it's too late, Miss
But it's too late, Miss

[Verse II]
Seventeen's mistake, eighteen's on the cake
Now it's real life, but you want to die
Nineteen, twenty, twenty-one
You say that you're done
But at twenty-two
Decide to start anew

[Chorus]
Girl, I wish I knew
And I wished I knew
There is nothing new
There is nothing new
Girl, you started this
Wish I could fix this
But it's too late, Miss
But it's too late, Miss

[Verse III]
She is twenty-two
And she makes a move
She gets the blade
And spills the pain
Cake says twenty-three
But it's only me
A bouquet in hand
At the grave of friend

[Chorus]
Girl, I wish I knew
And I wished I knew
There is nothing new
There is nothing new
Girl, you started this
Wish I could fix this
But it's too late, Miss
But it's too late, Miss
Girl I wish you'd stay
Why you couldn't stay?
Is this my mistake
That I couldn't save?
Girl I wish I could
Say that I love you
I knew that I should
But you left for good
