How did I ever let you slip away
Never knowing I'd be singing this song someday
And now I'm sinking, sinking to rise no more
Ever since you closed the door
(Chorus)
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd still be mine
If I could turn, turn back the hands of time
Then my darlin' you'd still be mine
Funny,funny how time goes by
And blessings are missed in the wink of an eye
Why oh why oh why should one have to go on suffering
When every day I plead please come back to me
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
And you had enough love for the both of us
But I, I did you wrong I admit I did
But now I'm facing the rest of my life alone
(Chorus)
I'd never hurt you (If I could turn back)
Never do you wrong (If I could turn back)
And never leave your side (If I could turn back)
If I could turn back the hands
There'll be nothing I wouldn't do for you (If I could turn back)
Forever honest and true to you (If I could turn back)
If you accept me back in your heart, I love you
If I could turn back the hands
(If I could turn back) That would be my will
(If I could turn back) Darlin' I'm begging you to take me by the hands
If I could turn back the hands
I'm going down yes I am (If I could turn back)
Down on my bended knee yeah (If I could turn back)
And I'm gonna be right there until you return to me
If I could turn back the hands
(If I could turn back) If I could just turn back that little clock on
the wall
(If I could turn back) Then I'd come to realize how much I love you,
love you, love you, love you, love you
If I could turn back the hands

We drive tonight and you are by my side we're talking about our lives like we've known each other forever the time flies by with the sound of your voice its close to paradise with the end surely near and if I could only stop the car and hold onto you and never let go I'll never let go as we round the corner to your house you turned to me and said "I'll be going through withdrawl of you for this one night we have spent" and I want to speak these words but I guess I'll just bite my tongue and except someday, somehow as the words that we'll hang from And I, I don't want to speak these words cause I, I don't want to make things any worse Why does tonight have to end Why don't we hit restart and pause it at our favorite parts we'll skip the goodbyes If I had it my way I'l turn the car around and run away just you and I

What would you say if I asked you not to go To forget everyone forget everything and start over with me Would you take my hand and never let me go promise me you'll never let me go And now the stars aren't out tonight but neither are we to look up at them why does hello feel like goodbye These memories can't replace These wishes I wish and dreams I chase Take this broken heart and make it right I feel like I've lost everything when your gone Left remembering what its like To have you here with me I thought you should know Your not making this easy I never thought I'd be the one to say "Please don't, please don't leave me" Take my hand and never let me go Take my hand and never let me go Promise me You'll never let go Make this last forever

Title: The Greatest Fall (Of All Time)

The hand of my clock strikes two.
In times when I got the best of you.
We made promises we couldn't keep,
and every night we couldn't sleep.

I didn't know why,
but didn't ask questions.
because it was the first time in my life,
yeah the first time in my life,
where i did something right.

I set myself up for
the greatest fall of all time.
x2

You pick me apart
While I search for witty things to say
(in my defence)
"You'll never amount to anything anyway"
(Don't push your luck, don't push your luck"

You think that I'm impressed
with your one night stand and your
contagious kiss.
I'm trying to get this right
yeah
'coz im ridiculous like that

I set myself up for
the greatest fall of all time.
x2

I'll keep this as a constant reminder
of the night i spent holding onto her
and rest assured im moving on

i miss you less
with each day your gone!

I set myself up for
the greatest fall of all time.

Title: My eyes burn

My eyes burn
from these tears
you'd think I'd learn over the years
Good things won't
last forever
So what the hell am I supposed to do
You only wanted the things I couldn't give to you
and you had it all anyway

So take, take everything
and leave me, scrambling
Reaching for something
that wasn't there in the first place

So take, take everything
and leave me, scrambling
Reaching for something
that wasn't there in the first place

Tell me I'm wrong when I say
I can't expect you
To spend forever
with me
I live for that single moment

I take back everything I said
You wore, those words on your lips
as if they, meant anything anyway

Sometimes I feel
I could drop off the face of the earth
it seems I do more harm than good
I don't know if its worth
me losing sleep over this

Chorus 2x

Tell me I'm wrong when I say
I can't expect you
To spend forever
with me
I live for that single moment

Chorus 4x
