I wish I owned a time machine
So I could take both of us back
To the blissful days we were carefree
Before we drove our lives off track

I would give up every dollar I've earned
For one chance to start over again
But I cannot erase or cover up the past
My mistakes are eternally written in pen

I wish I knew then all the wisdom I know now
I would have turned around and walked away
If I had a do-over i would say no
To the drugs instead of a half-hearted okay

I am completely unable to restart
I've been walking on this path too long
I'm stuck living with the decisions
That somehow all turned out to be wrong

Regrets haunt my mind every day
Scars leave me with no place to hide
If I run they stubbornly follow in pursuit
It's impossible to escape though Ive tried

I'm forced to handle my mistakes
Replay words i said but didn't mean
So I waste my time counting the things I would change
If I could invent a time machine
