I saw a picture once
Of a girl who looked too sad
She'd seen a little too much pain
And hadn't had a name
She knew more than was taught
She knew some secrets long forgot
Yet what she didnt know was
What she'd do or what would happen now
She knew she'd have to leave
She knew it all could change
She knew she'd messed up
And she knew it'd never be the same
She knew she'd made a big mistake
She hoped they'd understand
They told her she could stay
Til' she found out why she had to leave
That knowledge came all too fast
And oh so quick she found
She didn't know nearly as much
As she'd hoped she did
