she always tried so hard
to make everybody love her
if that made her easy
the boys didn't mind
and when she moved out
nobody noticed
until the news showed
the scene of the crime
and all the while nobody knew her
none of us stopped to take the time
if what I know now I had known then
there are so many things we could have been
with what I know now I'd become a better friend
there is no life with no regret
only the falling and the getting up again
and what I know now I know, I know now he was a good man
but he'd tell you
always a distance
he could not let us down
you scared to be lonely?
well, you've got to stay busy
can't let anyone see
the cracks in your crown and all the while nobody told him
there was a better man beneath the mask
