If I Had My Way

I can't make you take back your goodbye

The rear view mirror never lies

I want to take you back in time

To a movie that keeps playing in my mind

Just let it go pretend

Act like it's not the end

'Cause if I had my way

You'd stay

I'll never let you leave

If I find a line to rhyme

All the perfect words to say

You wouldn't have to tell myself

You're the one you're the one

You're the one that got away

'Cause if I had my way

You'd know

I'd never let you let me go

I wish a kiss

Was all it took for me to show

That you and me are even close to done

I'm the one I'm the one

If I had my way

If I had my way

Its like trying to catch a passing dream

When I cant even fall asleep

There is no heart here left to break

You didn't have to steal it

'Cause it was always yours to take

I'm mourning for you long?

Like you're not already gone

If I had my way

You'd stay

I'll never let you leave

If I find a line to rhyme

All the perfect words to say

You wouldn't have to tell myself

You're the one you're the one

You're the one that got away

'Cause if I had my way

You'd know

I'd never let you let me go

I wish a kiss

Was all it took for me to show

That you and me are even close to done

I'm the one I'm the one

I know what I'm saying

Won't make a differences

The moment its over

Lost in the distance

'Cause if I had my way

You'd stay

I'll never let you leave

If I find a line to rhyme

All the perfect words to say

You wouldn't have to tell myself

You're the one you're the one

You're the one that got away

'Cause if I had my way

You'd know

I'd never let you let me go

I wish a kiss

Was all it took for me to show

That you and me are even close to done

I'm the one I'm the one

If I had my way

If I had my way

If I had my way
