Everyone knew him
But they never really knew him at all
Every day I would sit next to him
But we would never talk

When I hear your name
On the six o'clock news
There's a million thoughts [bad word] through my head
How could something like this happen to you?
Know I wish you knew

I'd give up forever just to see you again
And I
I want the world to understand how it almost could've been
If only I had let you in

I wanted to know him
But I couldn't think of something to say
So I let the moment pass me by
And I regret it to this day, oh

When I hear your name
On the six o'clock news [bad word] of cold [bad word] through my veins
How could something like this happen to you?
Know I wish you knew 

I'd give up forever just to see you again
And I
I want the world to understand how it almost could've been
If only I had let you in

I wish I had the chance to say
I wish I knew you
I didn't think as you walked away
I'd never see you
I won't forget, but it's too late
And now I miss you

When I heard your name
On the six o'clock news
You're here one day, then suddenly you're gone
How could something like this happen to you?
Now I wish you knew

I'd give up forever just to see you again
And I
I want the world to understand how it almost could've been
Almost could've been

I'd give up forever just to see you again
And I
I want the world to understand how it almost could've been

I'd give up forever just to see you again
And I
I want the world to understand how it almost could've been
If only I had let you in [you in]
If only I had let you in
