There was a girl I used to know
She was oh so beautiful
But she's not here anymore
She had a college degree
Smart as anyone could be
She had so much to live for
But she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
He abused her love and treated her so bad
There was not enough education in her world
That could save the life of this little girl
How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes
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 what we'd like to tell ourselves
But no, it wasn't that way
So she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
And she paid with her life
For loving that man
So we cannot ignore
We must look for the signs
And maybe next time
We might save somebody's life
HOOK
I on occasion met that guy
He stirred up bad feelings deep inside
Something about him wasn't right
The way he proves himself a man
By beatin' his woman with his hands
Oh I wish she'd seen the light
How can someone like that
Call himself a man
In reality he's far more less than that
And we cannot ignore
Whenever we see the signs
'Cause any kinda of abuse
God knows isn't right
我曾經認識一個女孩，
哦，她是那麼的美麗
但她現在已經不在這兒了
她拿到了大學的學位
——和任何人一樣聰慧
她有那麼多生活中的追求
但是他愛上了不該愛的男孩
他恣意於她的愛並愧對[辜負]她
在她的世界裡沒有足夠的經驗
用來拯救這個小女孩
怎麼會這樣..?這樣會持續多久??
這是不對的，這是如此的錯誤
我們還要讓它繼續下去嗎
讓我們轉身並繼續前行
醒醒吧，那已經晚了那麼久
就現在，我們不能再等
她沒有一刻的嘗試
敞開你的心，也張開你的眼睛
她試著呼叫來尋求幫助
她甚至責備在她身上發生的事
但是沒有人來給她幫助
就我們所說的而言，沒有什麼事出了問題
那就是我們想對自己說的
但是，不！不應該是那個樣子
她墜入愛河
愛的卻是不該愛的男孩
她為愛哪個男孩付出了生命
因此，我們不能忽略，我們必須找尋那印記
也許下一次，我們能拯救誰的生命了
