Too Late Now

I wish I would've told you

That I only went along with it

Because I didn't set standards back then

For whom I'd call a friend

I wish I would've told you

That I was too weak to intervene

That now, I would've put an end

To their torturous regime

I wish I would've told you

That it shattered my soul

To see the people I knew

Hurt someone I didn't

I wish I would've told you

That things will get better

That one day they'll grow up

That one day they'll feel guilt

I wish I would've told you

That I'll stand up to them, for you

But all I told you was

"It's just a prank"

And now I can't tell you anything.
