If I Could

If I could write a song and keep you from leaving I'd never write another line If I could, I'd haunt your peaceful dreams Forever taunt your fragile mind Go on, leave me I'll be just fine Go on, leave me There's always another Valentine This bed that you once called home- Its emptiness feels so divine This heart that you once filled whole Its emptiness, is mine If I could see through your bleating I'd have never called you mine If I could bring you all you're "needing" The universe would be thine Go on, leave me I'll be just fine Go on, leave me There's always another Valentine Loving thoughts, once dwelt on you Have slowly morphed with time Wrought with disdain, I can say: I'm thankful I drew the line If I could be all you wanted I would be God If I could be all you wanted Who I am would be robbed Go on, leave me I'll be just fine Go on, leave me There's always another Valentine Go on, leave me I'll be just fine Go on, leave me I'll give praise that you aren't mine
