IF I COULD DO IT OVER

 

Cold words spoken in anger.
Firery eyes burn with tears.
Walking away without good-byes.
Air filled with words that no one hears.

 

It's too late to take it back now;
Too late to apologize.
All I can do is just go on now,
Haunted by the tears in your eyes.

 

If I could go back and do it over -
Would I be wise enough to do it right?
If I thought that I could do it over
I'd be back in your arms again tonight.

 

Decisions avoided in fear.
Choices I didn't have the strength to make;
Forgiveness is nothing but a dream...
I'm cursed by the chances I wouldn't take.

 

Why did I turn our love to anguish?
Why did I give up on our dreams?
How long must I listen
To my heart as it screams?

 

If I could go back and do it over,
Would I be wise enough to do it right?
If I thought that I could do it over
I'd be back in your arms again tonight.
