If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you and you'd stay
I don't know why I did the things I did
I don't know why I said the things I said
Love's like a knife it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes
I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't want to see you go
I know I made you cry, but baby

[Chorus]
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way,
I'd take back those words that hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me, like you used to do
If I could turn back time

My world was shattered I was torn apart
Like someone took a knife and drove it
Deep in my heart
You walk out that door I swore that I didn't care
But I lost everything darling then and there
Too strong to tell you I was sorry
Too proud to tell you I was wrong
I know that I was blind,
And ooh

[Chorus]

    General Comment:i think you are all missing the true nature of the singers regret,he did'nt leave her over 1 fight,he left her as she was constantly acting a bitch to him and sher drove him away over time and it's only now that she realises it but it's all too late and she's lost everything.She wants to go back and rectify her mistakes but she can't-lifes a bitch,you gotta live with the consequences.It's a song with a strong moral.

    My Interpretation:a sad song about saying something that turned out to be the straw that broke the camel's back. we've all done these things...made someone leave us because we were dim enough to say something or do obnoxious and insulting.
