---If I'd Been the One---
--38 Special--

I've been lost inside
Empty space in my heart
And some things never change
How it hurts me
And how it's tearing me apart
And it just goes on and onCan 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?When I hear your name
Feel so cold deep inside
Still it's hard to explain
What your love meant to me
They say time will heal the pain
But it just goes on foreverCan 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 awayTime can't erase the reasons why
Count my mistakes and the heartaches
Since you said goodbyeWhat 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
Never fades away
No it don't fade away
