Only If

Little boy, not responsible Little boy, without a care in the world Where did you go, so long ago? A carefree child with no burden to hold Little girl, fragile but sweet Little girl, oh running free Why did you leave, so suddenly? A carefree child, with no responsibilities Only if you knew what you'd go through Only if you knew what you would do Only if saw what I have seen Would things have turned out differently? Only if you knew what you'd go through Only if you knew what you would do Only if saw what I have seen Would things have turned out differently? Younger me, if I told you what you could be If I showed you, what you'd become What you have done Would there be a different outcome? Little child, in the past Little child, growing fast Don't know what to do, but I'm telling you Don't look ahead, just live in the moment Only if you knew what you'd go through Only if you knew what you would do Only if saw what I have seen Would things have turned out differently? Only if you knew what you'd go through Only if you knew what you would do Only if saw what I have seen Would things have turned out differently? And as time goes on, oh so do the years And I can't stop the clock from turning And as the years grow old they disappear Cuz I can't stop the world from turning Only if you knew what you'd go through Only if you knew what you would do Only if saw what I have seen Would things have turned out differently? Only if you knew what you'd go through Only if you knew what you would do Only if saw what I have seen Would things have turned out differently? Only if you knew what you'd go through Only if you knew what you would do Only if saw what I have seen Would things have turned out differently? I turn out differently I turn out differently
