If I Could Turn Back Time

Verse 1
I’d never run to that train that night,
Where innocence was stolen, vanished from my sight.
I’d never get drunk, hand him my trust,
Only to be betrayed, left in the dust.
I’d never stay where pain was the air I breathed,
Or let lies and cheats decide what I believed.

Pre-Chorus
If I could turn back time, would I make it right?
Would I face the darkness and find my light?

Chorus
If I could turn back time, I’d protect my heart,
Refuse the games that tore me apart.
Every choice undone, every wound erased,
A life reclaimed, a soul retraced.
The clock moves forward, but I still dream,
Of paths I’d walked, of what could have been.

Verse 2
I’d never stay with those who raised their hand,
Or believe the lies they spun like sand.
I’d never let them twist my mind, break me down,
I’d rise before the world could push me to the ground.
I’d choose myself before the pain,
Draw boundaries strong, carve my own lane.

Pre-Chorus
If I could turn back time, would I stand tall?
Or just relive the nights I lost it all?

Chorus
If I could turn back time, I’d protect my heart,
Refuse the games that tore me apart.
Every choice undone, every wound erased,
A life reclaimed, a soul retraced.
The clock moves forward, but I still dream,
Of paths I’d walked, of what could have been.

Bridge
I wouldn’t take the shit they gave,
Wouldn’t let the lies make me a slave.
I’d run from the darkness that haunted my nights,
Claim my life back, reclaim my rights.

Final Chorus
If I could turn back time, I’d protect my heart,
Refuse the games that tore me apart.
Every choice undone, every wound erased,
A life reclaimed, a soul retraced.
The clock moves forward, but I still dream,
Of paths I’d walked, of what could have been.

Outro
If I could turn back time…
I’d take my life back, I’d choose again.
