If I Had My Way

(album: Bad Habit - 2012)

I can't make you take back your goodbye
The rear view mirror never lies
I want to take you back in time
To a movie that keeps playing in my mind
Just let it go pretend
Act like it's not the end

'Cause if I had my way
You'd stay
I'll never let you leave
If I find a line to rhyme
All the perfect words to say
You wouldn't have to tell myself
You're the one you're the one
You're the one that got away

'Cause if I had my way
You'd know
I'd never let you let me go
I wish a kiss
Was all it took for me to show
That you and me are even close to done
I'm the one I'm the one
If I had my way
If I had my way

It's like trying to catch a passing dream
When I can't even fall asleep
There is no heart here left to break
You didn't have to steal it
'Cause it was always yours to take
I'm mourning for you long?
Like you're not already gone

If I had my way
You'd stay
I'll never let you leave
If I find a line to rhyme
All the perfect words to say
You wouldn't have to tell myself
You're the one you're the one
You're the one that got away

'Cause if I had my way
You'd know
I'd never let you let me go
I wish a kiss
Was all it took for me to show
That you and me are even close to done
I'm the one I'm the one

I know what I'm saying
Won't make a differences
The moment it's over
Lost in the distance

'Cause if I had my way
You'd stay
I'll never let you leave
If I find a line to rhyme
All the perfect words to say
You wouldn't have to tell myself
You're the one you're the one
You're the one that got away

'Cause if I had my way
You'd know
I'd never let you let me go
I wish a kiss
Was all it took for me to show
That you and me are even close to done
I'm the one I'm the one

If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
