Lyrics:

Verse 1

You went away when I was young and left me all alone
I felt so helpless and afraid with no place to call home.
I cried myself to sleep at night, I couldn't stop the tears
How could you have abandoned me for so many years?

Chorus A

If only you had been there, we'd have a love so strong
But it's too late to love you now; you've been gone too long.
If only you had been there, I could love you now,
I want to love you like before, but I just don't know how.

Verse 2

Then somehow I found my way, I learned how to be strong,
I put away the memories of when it all went wrong
And just when things were going well, my life felt so brand new,
You came back into my life and asked me to love you.

Chorus B

If only you had been there, I could have loved you too
Instead I spent a lifetime, just missing – missing you.
If only you had been there, I could love you now,
I want to love you like before, but I just don't know how.

Bridge

Now things have changed, you're all alone
with no one by your side.
You want to spend some time with me,
You want my love to set you free.
But it's too late, we can't go back
The time has passed for love like that.

REPEAT CHORUS A
