if I only knew then
what i have come to know now
I would have done things differently
if its possible somehow...
i tilt my head and glance at the past
remembering how i thought this would last
i pushed you away when all I really wanted
was for you to stay
i wanted to be with you more than anything
wanted to love you the way you loved me
but when you gave all your heart
i couldn't find it in me to give you even a fraction from the start
i guess in mind i knew you deserevd better
but i couldn't manage to live up to that
you thought it was you, when all along it was me
you were just trying to be all you could be ...
for someone as selfish as me
i thought I had other things that mattered
but now i know nothing can fill your shoes...
nothing
I'll never forget the night
i watched as your heart fell apart,
your eyes filled with tears
for all i had put you through in these years
and just when i thought you were giving up
and giving in to letting go
you found it in you to just say no...
you stayed and you prayed...
but not asking anything for yourself,
not to ease your pain or heal your heart
but just for the strength to see me through
after all ... thats all you ever wanted to do
you were the meaning of true love
of anything and everything that matters
you were the meaning of happiness, and you were
the only answer to finding myself...
but i couldn't see that then,
i shut my eyes to make it easier on us both
but in the end im the only one who lost...
you were the only real thing i ever had
and i let that go
i would give anything to change it, rearrange it
but that was then and this is now...
if I only knew then
what i have come to know now
I would have done things differently
if its possible somehow...
~ dont let go of those who love you...
nothing can replace them once they are gone
