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-oh
When I hear your name
Feels 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 you 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 it hurts so deep inside?
And it never fades away
Fade away
Time can't 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 it hurts so deep inside
And it never fades away
Never fades away
No, it don't fade away
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-oh
When I hear your name
Feels 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 you 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 it hurts so deep inside?
And it never fades away
Fade away
Time can't 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 it hurts so deep inside
And it never fades away
Never fades away
No, it don't fade away
