[Verse 1]

You tore me apart but still I love you so
[Pre-Chorus]
Change everything I've ever known
Try once again to let you go
[Chorus]
If you could go back now, would you say it differently?
If there was no one there, would you open up for me?
If this was the last time that we would ever speak
Could we forgive somehow, could we let it rest in peace?
[Guitar Solo]

If there was no one there, would you open up for me?
If this was the last time that we would ever speak
Could we forgive somehow, could we let it rest in peace?
If you could go back now, would you say it differently?
If there was no one there, would you open up for me?
If this was the last time that we would ever speak
Could we forgive somehow, could we let it rest in peace?
