All The Ifs Wont Bring You Home

If I, if I, if I, if I, could I would
but all the ifs in the world wont bring you home

If I hadn’t made you believe all the tings I said
the lies and the truth
The lies that broke your heart
and the truths that convinced you I’d change

If I hadn’t shown them others the love
I promised was your own
Gaming these girls not seeing
I was the only one in the ring
And then showed you all the reasons
why you’d loved me before
Not changing at all
If I, if I, if I, if I, could I would
but all the ifs in the world wont bring you home

Now you ask around for someone real
to fill the void left inside
To treat you with respect at all times not one
being there for you and know how to feel
If I wasn’t lost in myself thinking
I had to prove I was the man
Baby you were all the proof I needed
a diamond you are, I only saw the rough
Inattentive to thoughts that screamed
thru the piercing eyes that stared while we bang
You thought holding me close and it was
all I needed, if I’d seen it was enough
If I, if I, if I, if I, could I would
but all the ifs in the world wont bring you home
