Turn Back Time
It all started back in the day
when all we did was laugh and play-
but one day it took a turn
it left a mark worse than a burn
I didn't know what I did until it was too late
Apparently I thought I was way too great
I treated you like trash without even knowing
I didn't know where it was all going
and then it all happened with quite a big bam
I messed it all up like I didn’t give a damn
I took it too far and asked you to choose
over the love of your life or a friend, you can't lose
you got so angry and annoyed and broke down crying
it was my fault I wasn't even trying.
I wanted you to know I really did care
but all I did was make it unfair
I treated you like a caged up bird
wanting to get out, but never heard.
I was only trying to protect you
but ended up without a clue
did I really want her to choose
or was I just jealous of what I might loose
I was like a dog who wanted the whole bone
instead of sharing with a dog without even a home
It is all my fault now we aren't even close to fine
only if only, I could turn back time.
