Only If

Little boy, not responsible
Little boy, without a care in the world
Where did you go, so long ago?
A carefree child with no burden to hold

Little girl, fragile but sweet
Little girl, oh running free
Why did you leave, so suddenly?
A carefree child, with no responsibilities

Only if you knew what you'd go through
Only if you knew what you would do
Only if saw what I have seen
Would things have turned out differently?
Only if you knew what you'd go through
Only if you knew what you would do
Only if saw what I have seen
Would things have turned out differently?

Younger me, if I told you what you could be
If I showed you, what you'd become
What you have done
Would there be a different outcome?
Little child, in the past
Little child, growing fast
Don't know what to do, but I'm telling you
Don't look ahead, just live in the moment

Only if you knew what you'd go through
Only if you knew what you would do
Only if saw what I have seen
Would things have turned out differently?
Only if you knew what you'd go through
Only if you knew what you would do
Only if saw what I have seen
Would things have turned out differently?

And as time goes on, oh so do the years
And I can't stop the clock from turning
And as the years grow old they disappear
Cuz I can't stop the world from turning

Only if you knew what you'd go through
Only if you knew what you would do
Only if saw what I have seen
Would things have turned out differently?
Only if you knew what you'd go through
Only if you knew what you would do
Only if saw what I have seen
Would things have turned out differently?
Only if you knew what you'd go through
Only if you knew what you would do
Only if saw what I have seen
Would things have turned out differently?
I turn out differently
I turn out differently
