If Only

If only i had paid attention
To what you needed from me
Then i wouldn't be here wishing
For the love that i let slip away
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
Every day 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 through
I crossed that line, 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
What's the use in me pretending
When i don't even know where you are
Every day 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
And learn to face the truth that i couldn't face before
If only, it doesn't matter anymore
When it comes to me and you
If only
Oh, doesn't matter anymore
