If I Could Have Seen the Future

[Verse 1:]
Tell me all your lies
Say all your goodbyes
You're never gonna die
I still believe you
I want a glimpse of your eyes
I need another sign
Your soul has gone to fly
I still heed you
I didn't think I'd cry
I held on to their advice
I've said some words tonight
I still need you

[Chorus:]
So if I could take everything back
I know I'd start again
I have given you no thought
And now your life is at it's end
If I could have seen the future
I know I would have been your friend
But I know there's nothing I can do
I'll still opt to pretend

[Verse 2:]
I feel I'm on my own
You've left me all alone
This is what life has shown
I still don't blame you
Comfortably you rest
Silently I confess
I never meant to hurt you
I still tell myself
I look back on what I've done
I look up towards the sun
It reminds me of a blazing gun
You'd like to see it

[Chorus:]
So if I could take everything back
I know I'd start again
I have given you no thought
And now your life is at it's end
If I could have seen the future
I know I would have been your friend
But I know there's nothing I can do
I'll still opt to pretend

[Verse 3:]
The tears are all along
I know what I did wrong
I knew it was my fault
I still love you
I want you back with me
Cured from your disease
Is it because of me?
I want an answer
I'll just wait and see
You'll come back to me
I know it's all belief
But I want it to be true

[Chorus:]
So if I could take everything back
I know I'd start again
It's not possible but I still wish
I'd see you smile again
If I could have seen the future
I would've said goodbye
But I know that it's too late to try
Oh, why'd you have to die?
