If I Could Turn Back Time

if i could create

a backwards clock

id use it to fix

whats always been broken

like me

maybe you

its almost everyones dream

to turn back the hands 

of time itself

its quite clear

that if the past was changed

i wouldve never met you

and you me

so things today would be different

i honestly might not be here

if i could go back

to nine months before my birth

i might reverse

what had already been done

and then that way 

there would be no me

and things would have gone different

for everyone

i wouldnt be there

to do what i do

to cause what i cause

and i wouldve never met you

yes ive obtained much better

but i still have your voice

ring through my ears

i still have tender spots

on my skin

that youd touched

i am always cold

when i remember you holding me

i am always empty

when i think of how you filled me

with everything i didnt have before you

with what all i needed in my life

if i could go back

i wouldnt even be me

and we would have never met

and i would have never cried

and i would have never hurt

youd have no reason to pretend

no reason to hide

and i wouldnt be stuck in the past

if there wasnt one

if i went way back

when i was small

when i was weak

id change certain events

id prevent all that wrong

but before i do that

id write a song

to forever sing

and remember what i had

once upon a time

when time didn't go backwards

and you had to live with certain actions and events

youd have to reap the benefit of certain choices

and cry when you were hurting

i wouldnt have let myself be broken

meaning i wouldnt need you to heal

that empty feeling in my heart

and i would have never messed things up

would have never met him

and he would have never restored

all that void id recieved from you

and i never cried

when i opened my eyes to the truth

if i could turn back time

maybe i wouldnt be here
