Only If
( ONLY IF )
I should of listened to my daughter, I should of saw the signs
My face is weighed so far down, you can see it in the lines.
I never saw this coming, it took me by surprise.
She held everything inside her, and she wore a disguise.
Only if I could of stopped her, she`d be here beside me on the bed.
Now I just blame myself, for all the terrible things I said.
We used to share a bond, then I always got in the way.
She didnt stay at home that much, alone is where she`d stay.
I could of prevented all of this, to her I wasnt very brave.
Instead tears fall down my face, while im kneeling at her grave.
A mother shouldnt be burying her own, my heart is soo damn weak.
All I want is to hold her tight, my baby is all i seek.
What did I do to deserve this, I couldnt hear her cry.
She was screaming out for someone to help her, and I just let her die.
My daughter is my whole world, without her theres no more giving.
A part of me is gone forever, and this life it aint worth living.
