If I could take back half the words I said
I would
And if I could take back half the things that I did
Oh yes, I would
But I can’t take back time
And I can’t make you come back to me
But if I could give back half the things that I’ve seen
I would
And if I could give back even half what I’ve heard
I’d like to try
But I can’t give back time
And I can’t make you come back to me
Another day gone
And I can’t make you come back to me
(Instrumental)
But if I could go back to the time you were here
I would
And if I could make right even half of the wrongs
I’d like to try
But I can’t go back in time
And I can’t make things right
So seasons change, chapters come and go
And so did your love
(Instrumental)
But if I could go back to the time you were here
I would
But I can’t go back in time and I can’t make things right
So seasons change, chapters come and go
And so did our love
And so did time
