lyrics

Wanted to tell you - you're not alone
Wanted to tell you - you should've known
The darkness was creeping much faster than we knew
Never realized there was nothing we could do

Wanted to tell you - you would've won
Wanted to tell you - but you were gone
A death in the home, a death in the family
A mortal wound is opened and you know it's gonna bleed

Don't know what to say
We were all blown away by the bloody mindless turn of events
A new reality, a voice for you and me
For the kids and the innocents
A voice above the crowd, a voice that shouted loud
Has been cut - it stops making sense
Now we've all been burned, it simply won't return
We've lost our last line of defence

Wanted to tell you - it's not so bad
Wanted to tell you - it's not so sad
A drug culture victim that can't take that extra shove
Like many it seems, yu were killed by Love

It seemed that you had so much more to live
It seemed that you had so much more to give
Spirit of teens. Possibilities.

Could it be that you were so misunderstood
It seemed that you had everything - none was any good
None heard you calling, none saw the warning

A generation without a home
A million friends who now are all alone
None heard you calling, none heard the warning
