Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's hard to say that's is over
Now you're gone
I think i've cried all my tears
I felt the lows and face my fears
All the things I wanna to say
What if I could turn back time
What if I could call you mine
What more can I say
I still feel that way
You were hurting way to long
I blew it all, just got it wrong
What more can I do
My heart belongs to you
I blamed myself and my selfish ways
All the times you tried to tell me
I stoled you soul now I'm in shame
Now my heart is frozen than I'm sitting here
On my own again
Now you're gone
Gone
What if I could turn back time
What if I could call you mine
What more can I say
I still feel that way
You were hurting way to long
I blew it all, just got it wrong
What more can I do
My heart belongs to you
I think it's time I'll be moving on
Need to find myself and carry on
But I need you
Oh, I need you
What if I could turn back time
What if I could call you mine
What more can I say
I still feel that way
You were hurting way to long
I blew it all, just got it wrong
What more can I do
My heart belongs to you
What if I could turn back time
What if I could call you mine
What more can I say
I still feel that way
You were hurting way to long
I blew it all, just got it wrong
What more can I do
My heart belongs to you
