Lyrics

[Chorus]

If I could turn back time

If I could find a way

I'd take back those words that've hurt you

And you'd stay

[Verse 1]

I don't know why I did the things I did

I don't know why I said the things I said

Pride's like a knife, it can cut deep inside

Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes

[PreChorus]

I didn't really mean to hurt you

I didn't wanna see you go

I know I made you cry, but baby

[Chorus]

If I could turn back time

If I could find a way

I'd take back those words that've hurt you

And you'd stay

[Chorus]

If I could reach the stars

I'd give 'em all to you

Then you'd love me, love me

Like you used to do

[Chorus]

If I could turn back time

[Verse 2]

My world was shattered, I was torn apart

Like someone took a knife and drove it deep in my heart

You walked out that door, I swore that I didn't care

But I lost everything, darlin', then and there

[PreChorus]

Too strong to tell you I was sorry

Too proud to tell you I was wrong

I know that I was blind and darlin'

[Chorus]

If I could turn back time

If I could find a way

I'd take back those words that've hurt you

And you'd stay

[Chorus]

If I could reach the stars

I'd give 'em all to you

Then you'd love me, love me

Like you used to do, oh

[Bridge]

If I could turn back time (If I could turn back time)

If I could turn back time (If I could turn back time)

If I could turn back time, oh, baby

[PreChorus]

I didn't really mean to hurt you

I didn't wanna see you go

I know I made you cry

[Chorus]

Oh, if I could turn back time

If I could find a way

I'd take back those words that hurt you

[Chorus]

If I could reach the stars

I'd give 'em all to you

Then you'd love me, love me

Like you used to do

[Outro]

If I could turn back time (Turn back time)

If I could find a way (Find a way)

Then maybe, maybe, maybe you'd stay
