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.
