I would, If I could

If I could chose a different path

One that allows my memories to fade

See they never go away, a video in my head

Year after year, repeat after repeat

If I could change my past, I would

If I could stand against the pain, I would

If I could undo all the wrong moves, I would

If I could erase all the guilt, I would

If I could have the faith, I would turn my nights into days

If I could run from the emptiness inside

I fear the people see the hidden scars

If I stay busy enough for the future

Maybe then there won’t be a past

If I could change my past, I would

If I could stand against the pain, I would

If I could undo all the wrong moves, I would

If I could erase all the guilt, I would

If I could have the faith, I would turn my nights into days
