If I could start over again Then maybe I would not pretend That all these years I've hid my face That all this time I've felt displaced If I could start over again Then I'd be different than I've been If we could start over again Then maybe we could start over again Then maybe we would not have said Can we try being more than friends Would you stay with me 'til the end If we could start over again We might say what we really meant If I could start over again Then I'd try not to hide away But let my spirit feel the pain Then let these scars take time to fade If I could start over again My tattered heart might start to mend
