Chapter 1 - If

If I could hold you now, I would
If I could love you forever, I would
If I could only wake up where you are
I would never let you go

And if I could cause you one ounce of pain
In exchange for the tears I've cried
Maybe then all this suffering will be worth it in the end
And maybe I could make you mine again

For many endless nights I've cried
Waiting for you to come back
But all you did was play that game
A game that I caught on to

And now I wonder if all that
Was worth it in the end
Even though you did me wrong
I still want to make it right

Maybe it's foolish of me
To think that you'll ever change
But I still need you here
Even if you don't need me

And I know that it's unrealistic
To think that you could love me
And only have me with you
No more playing games

Thinking about this right now
I've come to realize
I don't need you any more
I don't need to cry no more

You've wronged me and now I see
That you'll never change, not ever
I'm through with you and that's the end
To this chapter I've played in your book

No more will I be waiting for you
No matter how many times
You say you'd change, you say you'd quit
Running out on me

I can see now I'm better off
Without you clouding my judgment
I'm not that foolish any more
I won't take your lies no more
