If you just walked away
What could I really say?
And would it matter anyway?
Wouldn’t change how you feel.
I am the mess you chose
The closet you cannot close
The devil in you, I s’pose
But the wounds never heal
But everything changes
(If I could)
Turn back the years
(If you could)
Learn to forgive me
Then I could learn to feel
Sometimes the things I say
Moments of disarray
Succombing to the games we play
To make sure that it’s real
But everything changes
(If I could)
Turn back the years
(If you could)
Learn to forgive me
Then I could learn to feel
When it’s just me and you
Who knows what we could do
If we can just make it through
The toughest part of the day
But everything changes
(If I could)
Turn back the years
(If you could)
Learn to forgive me
Then I could learn how to feel
(Then we could)
Stay here together
(If we could)
Conquer the world
(If we would)
Say that forever is more than just a word
If you just walked away
What could I really say?
And would it matter anyway?
It wouldn’t change how you feel.
