If I had known you before
Before things got this bad
I think we could have been friends

If you came to me then
When life all made sense
I think we could have been friends

You held out your hand
And offered me your help
But we were never friends

If it was one day, one year sooner
That you went out of your way
Maybe we would have been friends

If you saw me suffering back then
If you saw me crying and bleeding
Maybe you could have been a friend

If you weren’t pretty and popular
And I wasn’t isolated and alone
I would have believed you were a friend

Had only you heard sooner
The screaming desperation in my head
I think we would have been friends
