Today I was reminded
about all of my mistakes.
I’m trying to remember
how to give and how to take.
Sometimes I remember
all the choices in my past.
Some have brought me to a place
where I know that this can’t last.
All I know now is
I’ve missed so many chances.
Every day reminds me
of where I could have gone.
Now all of it’s behind me
I just hope it doesn’t blind me.
I’m right here where I’m standing
And this is where I’ve landed.
So why is all that I think—
If only, if only…
It’s hard for me to think of
how my yesterdays have changed me.
But all of this reminds me
that I’m so very lonely.
All I know now is
I’ve missed so many chances.
Every day reminds me
of where I could have gone.
Now all of it’s behind me
I just hope it doesn’t blind me.
I’m right here where I’m standing
And this is where I’ve landed.
So why is all that I think—
If only, if only…
Everything seems like it’s all about to break.
The wreckage in my life has
caused all this heartbreak.
Some days my past seems like a dream
And now I’m losing all this steam.
But when I look inside my heart
I think I know what’s in my dreams.
Everyone’s seen horror
And everyone’s seen pain,
and the trouble in my mind is that
I see it all so plain.
All I know is that I’ve had
so many chances find me.
For some reason it all seems
to come back down to timing.
All I know now is
I’ve missed so many chances.
Every day reminds me
of where I could have gone.
Now all of it’s behind me
I just hope it doesn’t blind me.
I’m right here where I’m standing
And this is where I’ve landed.
So why is all that I think—
If only, if only…
What if I’ve lost my way
And there’s no one left to find me?
What if the keys that hold my heart
are buried now,
captive to the one
who I know I can never see again?
If only, if only…
I’d done something different…
If only, if only…
I’d answered my heart strings…
If only, if only…
You were here today.
Then what?
I’d go back in time.
If only, if only…
