2. She tried to give a cry for help
She even blamed things on herself
But no one came to her aid
Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
That's why we'd like to tell ourselves
But not! It wasn't that way
Bridge 2: So she fell in Love
With the wrong kinda man
And she paid with her life
For loving that man
So we can not ignore
We must look for the signs
And maybe next time we might save somebody's life ...
>>Chorus
