Time Machine - BlairxMusic

If I had a time machine I’d go back to that day The first time that I saw you And turn the other way I’d save myself the heartache The sleepless nights and pain Erase every broken promise And all the tears that fell like rain But maybe you were a lesson One I needed to learn I just wish I’d walked away sooner And let that bridge burn If I had a time machine I wish I could go back Tell that lonely girl she’s stronger Than she ever thought she had I’d whisper in her ear “Don’t mistake attention for fate” Maybe then I wouldn’t be here Wondering why I didn’t make A sooner great escape If I could rewrite the story I’d change every page Take back all the years I spent Locked inside your cage I would’ve chosen my own freedom Instead of choosing you Would’ve stopped believing someday You’d become the man you swore you’d be too But every scar reminds me Of how far I’ve come today And even though it broke me I survived the wreckage anyway If I had a time machine I wish I could go back Tell that lonely girl she’s stronger Than she ever thought she had I’d whisper in her ear “One day you’ll be okay” Maybe then I wouldn’t be here Looking at the past Wishing it away But time keeps moving forward No matter how hard I try And there’s no machine that’s powerful enough To change every goodbye So I’ll take the pieces with me And leave the rest behind Because the girl who thought she’d lost herself Was only waiting to be found If I had a time machine Maybe I’d still choose this road ’Cause every wrong turn led me To the strength I never knew I owned And though I can’t go back Or change a single thing I’ll keep moving toward tomorrow With the lessons that you bring No, I don’t need a time machine To finally be free The girl I needed to save back then Was always me
