Lyrics
V1: I didn't ask you why - I didn't know how
Wish I would have tried knowing what I know now
To dig a little deeper and try to find out why
You had that sad look in your eye (I learned to)
Cho: Go the extra mile - be a better friend
Do it while you can
You gotta find a way - better do it today
Go the extra mile
V2: I'm sorry I let you down when you needed me most
If I could I'd go back now and hold you close
Don't think I didn't care - I cared so much
I guess I was scared or just not tough enough (to)
Cho:
V3: I learned the hard way it doesn't matter what you say
I learned from you it matters what you do
When you see a friend in need, stay by their side
Don't let them bleed while you run and hide
Cho:
