Lyrics
If I'd Been There For You
What if I'd been there more often?
And didn't stay out until two
Drinking away my promises
And running around on you
What if I'd been there for him?
And watched him climb on my knees?
Taking first steps going to school
And learning his ABC's
Could it be like the good old days?
When our love was young and new
And would you still be walking away
If I'd been there for you
What if I turned back the page?
And we started the scene again
The leading man gets the girl of his dreams
Together they walk away
And it's like the good old days
When our love was young and new
And would you still be walking away
If I'd been there for you
All my good time friends they've changed their ways
They're done with their drinkin' days
And I'm out here alone one more time
Tryin' to find what was already mine
What if I'd been there for me?
It's something you always knew
Can you show me the steps cause now I see
It's love that gets you through
And would you still be walking away
If I'd been there for you
