If I Could Love You Again lyrics

I still see you in the morning light In every dream that ends too quiet The words I should've said back then Still echo through my chest again I built a world with half a heart Thinking time could play your part But every road I try to mend Still circles back to where we end I thought forever was just a word Until I lost what I had heard If I could love you again I'd hold on tighter, I'd let you in I'd keep the promises I let bend And never run when storms begin I'd choose your heart before my pride I'd stay and fight instead of hide If I could love you again I'd never let it end I still replay the way you'd smile That quiet grace, that fragile style I was too scared to really see The kind of love you gave to me Now I walk through the years we lost Counting the cost of what it cost And if the heavens gave one chance I'd trade my peace for one last dance I thought time could make me whole But it just deepened what you stole If I could love you again I'd start from truth, not from pretend I'd trace your tears until they end And learn your heart, not just defend I'd whisper things I left unsaid And choose your soul instead of dread If I could love you again I'd love you till the end I've learned that love is not control It's letting go but keeping soul And though I lost what could have been You're still the calm inside my skin If I could love you again I'd be the man I wasn't then No more fear, no more refrain Just every truth without the pain And if my heart could try again I'd find my way back to your hand If I could love you again I'd never let it end If I could love you, again Just once again
