It's been a long time, Gina, since you came home
And things are getting stranger every day
They're saying Johnny fell, but I'm not certain
I think it's better that you stay away
We were five of us against the world
A secret superhero team
But now I'm just one frightened girl
And when I sleep, I hear them scream...
I went to Sarah's funeral on Sunday;
They did her makeup cunningly, it's true
To look at her, you'd never know what happened
I know it wasn't suicide. Don't you?
We were five of us, just having fun
Too innocent to know the stakes
But what you do can't be undone—
You can't unmake your own mistakes...
Gina, I don't think that I can write you anymore
And Gina, when you go to bed, be sure to lock the door
Gina, we were five until you left, and left us four
And Gina, we weren't strong enough without you...
It's been a long time, Gina, since you told me
"It doesn't matter—nobody will know."
I still remember how you used to scold me
How Sarah cried the day you had to go
We were five of us, and it was you
Who said "I know a better game,"
But how could we have had a clue
You'd run before you'd share the blame...
I know when David died you sent a letter;
His mother gladly gave me your address
I think it's time you learned a little better
The nature of this "silly little mess."
We were five of us, you in the lead;
I think you knew just what we'd done
You didn't care, left us to bleed
And now I think you'd better run...
Gina, I don't think that I can write you anymore
And Gina, when you go to bed, be sure to lock the door
Gina, we were five until you left, and left us four
And Gina, we weren't strong enough to doubt you...
Gina, I'm the last one they can find here
Gina, you were right to stay away
Gina, I made sure that your address was very clear
I wrote it plainly on the wall so your new friends would know the way
And I think before the sun comes up, they'll likely come and play
Gina, darling Gina, there's not too much left to say...
It's been long time, Gina, since that midnight—
Who knew that just eight days could be this long?
I really hope there's time for this to reach you
I hope you understand that you were wrong
We were five of us; I've buried three
You thought that you could get away
You little b**h, it's time to see
When you raise hell, there's hell to pay...
Gina, I don't think that I can write you anymore
And Gina, it won't matter if you lock and bar the door
Gina, we were five, and we'll be five forevermore
And Gina, when you're dead, then I'll forgive you...
