Would You Still Be There

  • If I could find the words, if I could shake the world
    If I could turn back time would you still be there?

    I can't stop thinking about the way
    I left you sinking with no escape
    Now there's no lifeline, no way to save
    But maybe next time I won't throw it all away

    I ask myself everyday

    If I could find the words, if I could shake the world
    If I could turn back time would you still be there (be there)
    If I could find the words to say
    If I could shake the world to break you down
    Then would you still be there? (Right there)

    Would you still be there?
    Would you still be there?

    Dislocating, I lie awake
    Suffocating in my mistakes
    I lost my halo when I fell from grace
    But maybe next time I won't throw it all away

    I ask myself everyday

    If I could find the words, if I could shake the world
    If I could turn back time would you still be there (be there)
    If I could find the words to say
    If I could shake the world to break you down
    Then would you still be there? (Right there)

    There's no dancing around it
    I'd crawl into the fire, then fan the flames
    And I can't stand it
    But I don't have the strength to burn the page

    If I could find the words, if I could shake the world
    If I could turn back time would you still be there? (Be there)

    If I could find the words, if I could shake the world
    If I could turn back time would you still be there (be there)
    If I could find the words to say
    If I could shake the world to break you down
    Then would you still be there?
