If I'd Only - Carlton Yorke

Описание: If I’d only slowed my pace
Read the lines upon your face
I might’ve seen what time was doing then
If I’d only stayed a while
Let the quiet speak its mind
I might’ve held what slipped away again

I mistook the noise for truth
Called my hurry honest youth
Thought tomorrow owed me one more day
But the moment turned and went
Left me wondering what it meant
How the best of things can drift away

I don’t live inside regret
But I haven’t quite forgot it yet

If I’d only known what now has shown
I’d have loved you softer, stayed back home
I’d have listened more than spoke
Held the fire, not the smoke
I won’t curse the man I was
He was doing what he does
But I carry every mile I roamed
If I’d only known

There are words that still remain
Sleeping quietly in my name
Not accusing, just aware
Some lessons don’t arrive in time
They’re meant to meet us down the line
When we’re strong enough to care

If the past could hear me now
I’d say thank you anyhow

If I’d only known the weight
Of the love I’d hesitate
I’d have stayed, I’d have tried
Laid my pride down by your side
But the truth is clear to me
Now I’m who I’m meant to be
I don’t beg the past to stay
I just walk on, changed, today

If I’d only…
