If I could turn the clock hands back,

There are things that I would change.

I wish I could say I am satisfied,

But that's really not quite true.

If I could turn the clock hands back,

I would wish that we still talked.

But we'd still end up here,

So maybe I would wish something else.

If I could turn the clock hands back,

I'd change the way I acted.

But in the end, what would change?

We'd still be here again.

If I could turn the clock hands back,

I'd change the things I said.

But then again, would that help?

I think we'd end the same.

If I could turn the clock hands back,

I would choose not to call.

Perhaps it all would have turned out better,

If we'd left that night unchanged.

If I could turn the clock hands back,

I wouldn't wander after you.

I think perhaps things would be better,

If I had had more sense.

If I could turn the clock hands back,

Only one thing could be changed.

And that one change would be to stay

Away and never meet.

But if I could turn the clock hands back,

I know nothing would change.

For despite the sword plunged in my heart,

For a little while, I was happy.
