What have I done were the only words I could think,
Yet I continued to walk away and didn’t even look back.
We got up and left her before she even had the chance to blink,
Everyone looked and pointed at her getting a good crack.

But instead of laughing I knew what I had done was wrong,
I was just too afraid to do anything because I didn’t want to be rejected
And all I really wanted was to feel like I belong
Yet I knew she sat alone at the lunch table pretending to be unaffected.

Back there I didn’t just leave a girl; I walked out my best friend
The girl I promised I would always be there for.
That wasn’t the end; no I left her more than once to fend.
I spilled all her secrets while she gave me pleading looks that I would ignore.

My new friends would laugh at her behind her back.
They attacked her every way they could and were often violent
And I knew they just wanted to see her crack.
But I just sat back, watched and stayed completely silent.

I wish I had done something and made them stop
But I didn’t I just followed like a lost stray
They just coming at her like it was a game nonstop
So I made a decision and walked away.

I regret what I did and didn’t do and I wish I could go back but I can’t
Back then I was just a copy of them, a clone
I want to go back and stop their attack
If only she knew that I have changed, that I have grown

I just wish I knew how to tell her I’m sorry
