IF I COULD TAKE IT ALL BACK

IF I COULD TAKE IT ALL BACK

If I could take it all back just to stop the pain,

If I could take back that first kiss out in the rain,

If I could take back the first time I ever held your hand,

If I could take it all back, I think you would understand.

If I could take back the first time I saw you online,

If I could take back the first time I heard you say you were mine,

If I could take back all my nibbles on your ears,

If I could take it all back, it would stop my tears.

If I could take back all the hugs that were so tight,

If I could take back the cuddling all through the night,

If I could take back the first time we met,

If I could take it all back, I know I could forget.

If I could take back all the time that we spent,

If I could take back all the messages that we sent,

If I could take back the year that just past,

If I could take it all back, it would be from the first day to the last.

If I could take back the way you made me feel inside,

If I could take back the times we went for a ride,

If I could take back the first time I looked deep into your eyes,

If I could take it all back, I wouldn't have heard your goodbyes.

If I could take back the times we went to the show,

If I could take back the first time I saw you glow,

If I could take back the times I was missing you,

If I could take it all back, I could stop being blue.

If I could take back the times we made love,

If I could take back the things you made me think of,

If I could take back the way that I feel,

If I could take it all back, then I could start to heal.

If I say I want to take it back that would be a lie,

I would do anything just to hear your little sigh.

I could take it all back, but then

If I could, I would do it all over again.
