if only i had paid attention
to what you needed from me
i would have seen what you were missing
in the man i promised you i'd be
and if only i had listened
to what your heart was trying to say
then i wouldn't be here wishing
for the love that i let slip away
chorus 1
and everyday that goes by no matter how hard i try
i can't change the past and i can't bring you back
and all the things i didn't do and the pain i put you thru
i crossed that line and it was more than love allowed
if only i'd known then what i know now
if only i could make a happy ending
wave a magic wand and touch your heart
but what's the use in me pretending
when i don't even know where you are
chorus 2
and everyday that goes by no matter how hard i try
i can't change the past, no i can't bring you back
so it's time i let you go, take my regrets on down the road
learn to face the truth that i couldn't face before
if only doesn't matter anymore
tag
when it comes to me and you
if only doesn't matter anymore
