Had I known,
That you were leaving,
Going where I can't go,
You would still be breathing.

Had I known,
You were down there,
Not living life,
You would still care.

Had I known,
The darkness you see,
Causing your suffering,
You would be free.

Had I known,
How much pain this brings,
I would still hear the church bell,
As it rings.
