Turn Back the Hand of Time

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I remember every word I threw Like bottles at a bedroom wall You were standing in the doorway Trying hard to catch them all I laughed just to hide my shaking You cried with your shoulders still Said you’d stay if I said something I stayed proud and kept my will [Chorus] If I could turn back the hand of time Pull the anger from my mouth I’d hold your face like it might vanish Let the truth come spilling out If I could turn back the hand of time Undo the moment you let go I’d trade a lifetime of my comfort Just to be the me you used to know [Verse 2] Your coffee cup is in the cupboard Lipstick stain that never fades Every morning I still reach for What I pushed so far away I replay the quiet leaving Your suitcase on the second stair You said “please say that you need me” I said nothing Just stood there [Chorus] If I could turn back the hand of time Rip the silence from that night I’d run down Take the bags from you Beg you stay and hold on tight If I could turn back the hand of time Change one ‘fine’ into “I’m scared” I’d let you see the fear beneath me Show the love I never dared [Bridge] How many clocks have to keep on turning Before this lesson starts to fade I carved my pride into our story Now I’m living in the shade Of every could have Should have Maybe Every almost Every plea I can’t fix the past I shattered But it’s all that’s left of me [Chorus] If I could turn back the hand of time Lift the weight from what I said I’d write “I’m sorry” on your pillow Lay my stubborn heart to bed If I could turn back the hand of time Find the moment we went wrong I’d break myself to build you shelter Just to hear you call me home
