square one
What would i change
If i could go back and change one thing
Erase one regret
Forget someone i’ve met
Would i even change a thing
Or would i leave it all the same
Would I go back to the day I met you
The day you said hello
When I passed you in the hallways
Would I try harder to walk slow
To stop our paths from crossing
Would that save me from this low
What about that day in class
Where I tried to meet your eye
I was so young
Had no experience
I never would have guessed
You’d be the one to make me cry
Would I change that night in November
When we shared our very first kiss
What would I have done
If I were to go back and tell myself
That you would be the one
I would always have to miss
Were the highs worth the lows
And knowing what I know
Would I still have fallen for you
Had someone told me
It would be this hard
To make myself let go
If I could change the past
Would I make that phone call the last
The one that broke my heart
And left me searching for answers
Because I didn’t know
why it ended so fast
and when you tried to come back
would I have run away
and tried to pretend
that I was over you
if I had known
that it would lead to another crack
if I knew then what I know now
would I stop myself somehow
would I turn around and run
in order to keep myself away
from where I am today
which is back at square one
