If I Ever...

How many times have I hurt you
Made you cry
Made you yell out my name in despair
For me to change
For us to remain unchanged?

You asked if I heard you on your knees, begging please each night
You asked if I ever miss you when we're apart
You asked how I could have mended my own heart and break yours so hard
You asked if I ever wanted to set things straight, make it right

How many times have we been here
At this same position, in your room at this hour
How many times have you heard me slammed the door
And break all we ever own?

You asked if I heard you on your knees, begging please each night
You asked if I ever miss you when we're apart
You asked how I could have mended my own heart and break yours so hard
You asked if I ever wanted to set things straight, make it right

I would heal your wounds, fix your wings and I could
but I was weak-minded and took you for granted
Maybe I just didn't wanna be left behind
Maybe I thought you'd be better off without me tonight

You asked if I heard you on your knees, begging please each night
You asked if I ever miss you when we're apart
You asked how I could have mended my own heart and break yours so hard
You asked if I ever wanted to set things straight, make it right
And while you will never hear me say
I'd said all the time
