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 just running 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
A rush of cold goes running 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
