"If I'd Been The One"

I've been lost inside
Empty space in my heart 
And some things never change, oh 

How it hurts me and 
How it's tearin' me apart
And it just goes on and on 

Can you read my mind
Take a good look at my face
Could you take the time
Just to stand here in my place 

What if I'd been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye 
Could you smile when inside 
You just wanna cry, look inside
Can you read my mind, oh, whoa

When I hear your name
Feel so cold deep inside 
Still it's hard to explain, oh 

What your love meant to me
They say time will heal the pain 
But it just goes on forever 

Can you read my mind?
Have you closed the door on love
Can you be so blind?
Did you think I'd just give up?

What if I'd been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when inside
You just wanna cry, wanna cry

What if I'd been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye 
Could you smile when 
It hurts so deep inside
And it never fades away
Fade away 

Time can't erase the reasons why
Count my mistakes and the heartaches
Since you said goodbye 

What if I'd been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when inside
You just wanna cry, wanna cry

What if I'd been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye 
Could you smile when 
To hurts so deep inside
And it never fades away

Never fades away
No, it don't fade away
