If I could start all over

I would

If I could do it again

I would

If I could take back what I said

I would

If I could tell you

how I felt

how I feel

What I wanted

what I want

I would

 

Because I did it all wrong

Right from the start

If I had known what I know now

the good

the bad

the pain

the love

the all of the above

I would change it all

 

I'd tell you

how I felt

when I cried

when I needed you

and you didn't know

 

I would tell you

everything

faster

better

in a way much more significant

 

I would insist

I would share

I would help

I would immerse

all that I was willing to

 

I held back so much

 

You feel you didn't give enough

 

But you did

I was so happy

I had the world

all to myself

Then it took itself

away

from me

 

And now

you're gone
