What Might Have Been

This movie will continue to play
As long as your eyes remain on me
Peering through insecurities
Viewing a broken soul
Through eyes that could hide anything

Pause:
You walk down the hall
And your gentile smile calms the storm inside
I’d give anything to stay in this moment
Knowing you’ll always be by my side

Rewind:
If I could I would go back
To you saying hello for the first time
And be welcomed into your heart
I would take away the damage I caused

Play:
But a selfish girl
Blinded by pride in her heart
Stumbled over her intentions
And told you she didn’t need you.

Fast-forward:
Into two broken hearts
I was the cause for both
You smile with a gleam of heartache
And pain makes us strangers

Play:
So you stand before me
Only feet away from my grasp
But hearts are separated by miles of pain
A pain that binds us together

The Record button is broken
I can only rewind and be tortured
By the pain I inflicted
By the pain of the unknown
What might have been

This movie will continue to play
As long as your eyes are on me
Peering through insecurities
Viewing a broken soul
Through eyes that could hide anything
