Lyrics
If I had a chance
I'd do it all again
I'd dive back in that storm
and try to sail out clean until the end
Oh If I knew what I know now
I'd proudly jump back in
Spend every penny till I'm lost and blue
with you I'm rich my love
Oh I travel through your ragged woods
your spiral windy roads
Your trusted love I'd be and
lick the wounds and lie and tell Ya good
Oh I see
What I want to see
And I'd hear
What I want to hear
Cuz I don't want to lose you
Oh I don't want to lose you
Ooo oo oo
Ooo ooh ooh
If I had my wits
oh I run so far away
I'd clear your name from every
record book and change my name and face
Oh oh if I wasn't bonded
By your wicked blood and wounds
I would free my self of all your chains
and go back where I stood
Oh but I see what I want to see
And I hear what I want to hear
Oh I see what I want to see
And I hear what I want to hear
I'll rip my skin
And hold my breath
Cast out my Needs
Spill my blood again
And all your hell
I'll bow and take
You held my neck
As I kneel and cry
I love the man
He loved his pain
My forgiving heart
Was his to claim
Now all his hate
I helped to recreate
He ran to save
Our souls from more pain pain pain
Cuz I had to lose him
Oh I, I had to lose him
If I had a chance
I'd take back all those words
I stitch an so up
Every store I made and clean all his mistakes
Oh maybe in another life
We'd know what we know now
We'd start again so wise and full of love
We'd nurture what we had
But I heard what we wanted to hear
And I saw the dream we tried to see
Because
Our love was real
We tried but
Too late to heal.
