Heather

By Bulvine

If could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be?
I think for a minute, then the answer comes quite easily
I wouldn't go back to the day I left, I would go back to the day before
I want to see you smile again and I don't want to hurt anymore


This house is not my home
I'm leaving even though I have no where to go
I watch you play from behind the kitchen door
I try to find a reason why I'm not a part of this anymore
When you look at me I'm afraid you knew
that this would be my last memory of you


Leaving is the hardest thing to do
will this be the last time I watch you
walk home from school
You are the reason I did all I could do
the reason it lasted many years, instead of a few
I know you are going to hate me
I know you are going to blame me
All I will ever hear is, "daddy explain this to me"
you were only ten years old
I wonder how many lies you will be told?



The saddest sound I'll ever hear
is the sound of silence when you are not here
I hear your voice in my dreams and it's loud and clear
The saddest sound you'll never hear
is my heart crying and only I can hear
I have a wounded soul that is slowly dying
inside my heart is crying


If we could back in time and change one thing
what would it be?
