If I`d Been The One

I`ve been lost inside, empty space in my heart <br>And some things never change, oh <br>How it hurts me and how it`s tearin` me apart<br>And it just goes on and on <br><br>Can you read my mind<br>Take a good look at my face<br>Could you take the time<br>Just to stand here in my place <br><br>What if I`d been the one to say goodbye, goodbye <br>Could you smile when inside you just wanna cry, look inside<br>Can you read my mind? Oh oh <br><br>When I hear your name<br>Feel so cold deep inside <br>Still it`s hard to explain, oh <br>What your love meant to me<br>They say time will heal the pain <br>But it just goes on forever <br><br>Can you read my mind<br>Have you closed the door on love<br>Can you be so blind<br>Did you think I`d just give up <br><br>Chorus: <br><br>What if I`d been the one to say goodbye, goodbye<br>Could you smile when inside you just wanna cry, wanna cry<br>What if I`d been the one to say goodbye, goodbye <br>Could you smile when it hurts so deep inside<br>And it never fades away, Fade away <br><br>Time can`t erase the reasons why<br>Count my mistakes and the heartaches<br>Since you said goodbye <br><br>(chorus) <br><br>Never fades away, no it don`t fade away
