lyrics

I wish I could change the past
I guess I'm not the first
God knows I won't be the last
The air was so still, all of a sudden
Frozen, on fire, in front of the screen

You wrote this song with your eyes
Smiling through the frontpage,
September 15th
Then it had only been about 48 hours
We had only just met

The streets still scattered with
A million tears
A million flowers
How many hours of sleep were lost last night
Nobody guessed how deep those bullets would bite

I never met you
I won't forget you
I think the whole world already knows
I've got no strategy
To fight the tragedy
No it couldn't have hit closer to home
The sadness doesn't know
Which way to go
Lost kid wasn't leaving alone
Now she'll never see nineteen

They said the shots that were ringing
Triggered 5000 cellular phones into
Waging a war
Because one more lost child (one more lost child)
One more lost child
Wouldn't leave this world alone

It didn't have to be this way
And the sound of sirens still makes me flinch
It didn't have to be this way
And the sound of violence still makes me flinch

It didn't have to be this way
And her melody's flowing through my veins
And she'll never see nineteen
