Too Late

If I’d known

The world could fall apart

So easily,

I would have never

Tried to shake the ground

With my actions

If I’d known

How fragile we all were,

I would have held on tighter

I would have been more careful

I would have never said goodbye

Just because I was angry

If I’d known

There are only

So many mistakes you can make

Before the world

Turns on you,

I would have never opened my mouth

If I’d known

Sharing your true thoughts

Meant being ridiculed

And betrayed,

I would never have opened up

To anyone

If I’d known

How wrong someone could be

I would never have followed you

So blindly

If I’d known

How much you were hurting,

I would have helped

I really do care

I’m not the monster you see me as

I’m just a girl

Who doesn’t see things

Until it’s too late
