If I Had My Way
If I had my way,
I would have never gotten played.
I would have been born heartless.
I'd be immune to hurt and stress.
If I had my way,
I'd refresh my memory.
Choosing what to keep and what to erase.
All the hurt I'd eradicate.
If I had my way,
They'd never have gone astray.
Generally they loose interest.
When they realize they'll never get their way.
If I had my way,
I'd never have played.
On the side-lines I would've stayed.
I'm on the bench not the rebound.
If I had my way,
I would have never had to say,
Three little words.
That meant so much then,
but nothing now.
If I had my way,
Things wouldn't have decayed.
Rigor mortis has already set in.
Death is on the horizon.
If I had my way,
I would have taken back every day.
The one's I've spent with you.
When I thought we had something true.
If I had my way,
I wouldn't have been on display.
I can't risk that anymore.
I'm more broken than before.
If I had my way,
I'd never have craved.
I wouldn't thirst for another.
I no longer want to bother.
If I had my way,
I would have delayed.
Never intended to rush in.
Now I've ended up with nothing.
If I had my way,
I'd never been slain.
I'd rather be alien to pain.
I'd would have never had to explain.
The thing is,
we never get our own way.
The thing is,
we always want what we don't have.
The sad this is,
when we get what we want,
we don't want it anymore.
the sad this is,
when we give it up,
we then realize we needed it much more.
I'd would have never have met you that day.
If only I had my way.
