If I'd Been the One

I've been lost inside

Empty space in my heart

And some things never change, oh

How it hurts me and

How it's tearin' me apart

And it just goes on and on

Can you read my mind?

Take a good look at my face

Could you take some time

Just to stand here in my place

What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye?

Could you smile when inside you just wanna cry? Look inside

Can you read my mind?

Oh, whoa

When I hear your name

Feel so cold deep inside

Still it's hard to explain, oh

What your love meant to me

They say time will heal the pain

But it just goes on forever

Can you read my mind?

Have you closed the door on love?

Can it be so blind?

Did you think I'd just give up?

What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye?

Could you smile when inside you just wanna cry, wanna cry?

What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye?

Could you smile when you hurt so deep inside

And it never fades away?

Fade away

Time can erase the reasons why

Count my mistakes and the heartaches

Since you said goodbye

What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye?

Could you smile when inside you just wanna cry, wanna cry?

What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye?

Could you smile when you hurt so deep inside

And it never fades away?

Never fades away

No, it don't fade away
