Time without you
oh how i wish i could rewind
i wish that i could turn back time
of all the things that i have said
oh how i wish that she weren't dead
with a heavy heart i fall asleep
with all the secrets that i keep
and the only wish i'd like to see
is my beloved here with me
if only time were not so mean
i could take back the things i've seen
i've buried the things she used to own
oh how it chills my every bone
i wear this smile on my face
so that no one will find a trace
of sadness left inside my mind
but there are things i cannot hide
the heart within me always breaks
with every single beat it makes
my entire world has lost it's speed
my life,my love, has lost it's heat
a single letter on a page
could not make a single change
i ask of you, is it a crime
for me to want to turn back time?
