If I could turn back time, I’d rewind to the start
When I first saw your smile and you captured my heart
I’d hold you so tight, never let go
I’d kiss you each morning and tell you you glow
I’d whisper, “You’re beautiful” every damn day
Make sure you knew you were loved in every way
But I see now the cracks, and I know they were mine
The words I let slip, the anger, the lies
You didn’t deserve the pain that I gave
But Natalie, I swear, I’m ready to change
(Chorus)
If I could go back, I’d do it all right
Make you feel like the queen of my life
You’re the only one I’ve ever adored
And I’d show it better than ever before
I’d kiss your forehead and dance in the rain
I’d hold you through laughter, through sorrow, through pain
I miss you so much, it’s tearing me down
But I’ll build a new man if you come back around
(Verse 2)
You were the calm in the storm I became
I let fear and pride wrap me up in shame
Accused you of things, when you just needed love
Now I lie here alone, not feeling enough
Your pillow still smells like the scent of your skin
And I’d give up the world just to hold you again
I see you in dreams and I wake up in tears
I count every minute, every day, every year
I’d trade all my pride for one moment with you
To say I was wrong, and I’d prove it was true
(Chorus)
If I could go back, I’d do it all right
Make you feel like the queen of my life
You’re the only one I’ve ever adored
And I’d show it better than ever before
I’d kiss your forehead and dance in the rain
I’d hold you through laughter, through sorrow, through pain
I miss you so much, it’s tearing me down
But I’ll build a new man if you come back around
(Bridge)
I know I messed up, I won’t hide or deny
But I’m not that same man, I’m ready to try
To be the man you deserve, the man you once knew
Natalie, my heart still beats only for you
(Final Chorus)
If I could go back, I’d rewrite the past
Make every sweet moment forever last
You’re the only woman I’ll ever need
And I’ll love you in word, in soul, and in deed
I’d never let a day go without showing you
That my world is complete when I’m holding you
I miss you, I love you, I’m begging you now…
Please give me the chance to show you how
(Outro – softly)
Natalie…
If I could go back…
I’d never let you feel unloved again.
