If Only I (Song)

The end was growing closer I could feel it all around Before you said it's over from all the times I let you down As I lie beside your pillow It's getting hard to sleep at night Every single lonely tear knows That I did not love you right If only I, Could turn back time with the words of a rhyme, I'd be someone instead of me, I'd show you something new to see, Girl I need you in my life, If only I, Could live when you were mine, And learn to let love shine, I'd show your heart a better me And be someone instead of me, To keep you in my life, If only I.... The last thing that you told me, Before you walked out of the door, Baby you never hold me, How can I make you love me more, I wish I would have listened To the thing you tried to say If I would have paid attention Maybe then you would have stayed, If only I, Could turn back time with the words of a rhyme, I'd be someone instead of me, I'd show you something new to see, Girl I need you in my life, If only I, Could live when you were mine, And learn to let love shine, I'd show your heart a better me And be someone instead of me, To keep you in my life, If only I, could have been what you needed, Since I hurt you, our love's bleeding, Out of time and out of sight, If only I could make this right... If only I, Could turn back time, when you were still mine, I'd be everything that you need, And give your heart a better me, I miss you in my life... If only I...

Enjoyed readin your lyrics... Do you write music also? I am trying to learn to play the violin again, I took lessons when I was a child for 3 years I think and never really got to far with it. It is a hard instrument to play.
