If I'd known then
What I know now,
Would I do it differently?
If I'd known that that
Would be the last time
We'd all be together willingly,
Would I have tried harder?
Would I have done it better?
Would I have tried to warn them?
If I could go back
And do it all again,
What would I change?
Would I flash the warning sign,
And give them notice?
Or would I keep it to myself:
Alone and sacred,
But unable to change a damn thing?
