If Only
It was a dark night
With only one dim street light
Driving down the dirt road
That December night, it snowed
I pulled into the driveway, with my heart in my hand
But little did I know, this night wouldn’t turn out as planned
The devil himself told me we’d work it out
I should of known that wasn’t want he was talking about
When I arrived there wasn’t a sound
I knocked on the door with one single pound
He came, with a demon glare in his eyes
But my love for him put up a disguise
If only I knew what I know now then
If only I could do it all over again
I’d turn around, and disappear
Instead I am consumed with this lifetime fear
