wish you knew her

She was happy She didn't care She ran out the house with one ribbon in her hair She'll always see the best in everybody If you ran into her she'd be the one saying sorry Trying to be seen Going to a shrink To fit me in a box To validate my feelings Trying to find her As I get older I wanna scream it out but it's coming out a whisper Why am I grieving the best parts of me I'm just a kid can't you see That is why you'll never understand me I wish you knew her before me It's a long story That you'll never get to read, and for that I'm sorry Colors were brighter There was nothing to lose She was never tired Lit up every room I wish I could tell her to live in the moment Cause time isn't promised Nothing can stop it Trying to be seen Going to a shrink To fit me in a box To validate my feelings Trying to find her As I get older I wanna scream it out but it's no longer a whisper Why am I grieving the best parts of me I'm just a kid can't you see That is why you'll never understand me I wish you knew her before me It's a long story That you'll never get to read, and for that I'm sorry Wish you knew her You knew her You knew her You knew her Oh oh oh Wish you knew her You knew her You knew her You knew her (You knew)
