Detachment

I bet if we knew each other better, and our skies were blue

You wouldn't have left me, and I wouldn't have lost you

I bet if I said all of my words right and tucked you into bed every night

We wouldn't be arguing on the phone and we wouldn't need to fight...

 

I bet if I went back in time, and changed everything

I'd keep you under my wing, and to your ears I'd whisper sing...

I bet if I changed everything, I'd have you here with me today

And everything would be better and soothing that way

 

I bet if I kept my promises, and never ever lied

Then you would've never went with another guy

I bet if I was more stronger emotionally...

Then I'd be all you really need...

 

I bet if I told you I love you everyday

Then you'd think you're more important

But all I have now is mere empty wishes

And I just really wish you would've stayed...
