I can''t take back the things I said

To you in the past

Or make you forget the reasons why

We didn''t last



I''m haunted by what might have been

Still I can''t change who I was back then



But if I could hold you now you''d see

I''ve turned myself around and now

I''m someone you''d be proud to love

I''d do all the right things, make promises

That I''d keep

It''d hurt too much to let you down

And in my arms there''d be no room for doubt

If I could hold you now



It''s funny how this empty room

Makes it all too clear

When I let you leave

A part of me just disappeared



But if I''d known then what I''ve come to know

There''s no way I could have let you go



But if I could hold you now you''d see

I''ve turned myself around and now

I''m someone you''d be proud to love

I''d do all the right things, make promises

That I''d keep

It''d hurt too much to let you down

And in my arms there''d be no room for doubt

If I could hold you now



But if I''d known then what I''ve come to know

There''s no way I could have let you go



But if I could hold you now you''d see

I''ve turned myself around and now

I''m someone you''d be proud to love

I''d do all the right things, make promises

That I''d keep

It''d hurt too much to let you down

And in my arms there''d be no room for doubt

If I could hold you now



If I could hold you now

If I could hold you now
