Powerful ballad about a man reflecting on the one simple thing he could have done to keep the woman he loves.
Lyrics:
Sittin’ in the dark all alone
Readin’ over what she says is wrong
My heart explodes with every breath as I memorize the note she left behind
I know every word from before
Cause everything I’ve heard and just ignored
She said I need someone who’s not afraid to lean on me sometimes
If I had listened to what she tried to say
Opened up my heart before it was to late
I would have realized what she was missin’
If only I had listened
She said I prayed for change and you to hear
How every day’s the same, the weeks, the years
I miss that old desire that burns inside like fire when love is new
I think you’ll realize after I’m gone
This emptiness inside just can’t go on
I hope you find someday someone who makes you feel the way we used to
If I had listened to what she tried to say
Opened up my heart before it was to late
I would have realized what she was missin’
If I had listened with more than just my ears
I’d be holdin’ her instead of sittin’ here
I should have realized what I’d be missin’
If only I had listened
