Didn't seem to make a lot of friends
Waiting in your room, combing out your hair
Then you forgot our names; you could barely see us there
And we tried not to think of it
Hey Violet,
What a shame we knew you so little
Could have held our hearts
We could have been close instead of near
You existed as something of a riddle
Flying off the charts
Less and less yourself with every year
Evidently, things were going fine
If we can believe what the pictures say
Typical afternoons sitting out on sunny days
What was really going on?
Hey Violet,
What a shame we knew you so little
Could have held our hearts
We could have been close instead of near
You existed as something of a riddle
Flying off the charts
Less and less yourself with every year
It's so strange to think of you that age
Worried about men, worried for yourself
What kind of life you'd lead, what kind of hand you'd be dealt
There were possibilities then
What a shame we knew you so little
What a wasted part
Violet sometimes I wish you were here
