If I Could.....


If I could......
change the way things were 
certain things would not occur 
the fuss, the fights, the unsaid words 
would go with the wind like
a flock of birds 


the continuous lies that never
seem to stop 
unfortunately, you had to be dropped 
the flirtatious ways were too
heavy to bear 
every night I sit in fear 
the memories linger and linger long 
but why did you have to string me along 


the love that we shared was
pure and true 
but you messed around
and didn't have a clue 


why wait til' what you have is gone 
then sing that pitiful sad song 
you knew what you had was real 
but someone else cracked on the deal 
now you sit and wonder why 
with those tears running down your eyes 


the love that you had is gone away 
painfully you have to pay 
If I could do things one more time 
You being my princess again
would be the fine....
