Verse 1:
That new kid at school might as well
Had a bull?s eye on his back
He was skinny and shy and that bright red hair
Made him easy to poke fun at
A few of my friends were planning some prank
Meant to embarrass him
I should?ve taken a stand when they came to ask
If they could count me in

But I just said you go ahead
Looking back that?s not what I wish I?d said

Verse 2:
Now me and my little sister were pretty good buddies
Though we teased each other a lot
So I thought it was kinda funny
When she didn?t get a date to the prom
She came home and said, ?ah, what the heck,
I?ll find something else to do?
I said if you weren?t such a pain in the neck
Maybe you?d be going too

She looked up and her eyes were red
Looking back that?s not what I wish I?d said

Chorus:
What I wish I?d said to those kids back then
Is don?t you go picking on my new friend
And what I wish I?d said if I had another chance
Is do you think that your big brother
Could escort you to that dance

Now that?s what I wish I?d said

Verse 3:
Now you and me been arguing half the night
And your eyes are filled with hurt
I can see I was wrong and girl if it?s alright
I?d like to take back every word

Chorus:
?Cause what I wish I?d said is a whole lot less
Seen the good in you and forgot the rest
Tonight we?d have one fewer problems to solve
If I?d have just said nothing, nothing at all
Now that?s what I wish I?d said
