lyrics

When I was a young girl , you told me you loved me.
When I was a young girl , you always stood by me.
And when I was nine, you held my hand while I cried.
Now all I have left of you is what I should’ve said.
When I was a young girl , I believed in fairies.
When I was younger , the world wasn’t scary.
But that little girl was lost, and it was you who paid the cost.
I never said I love you, and that’s my life’s regret.
Because I can never turn back time,
reclaim the things I thought were mine...
So all I have left of you is what I should’ve said.
When I was a teen girl , I’d always avoid you.
And when I made a promise , I’d never see it through.
I would roll my eyes, and give you the look.
Now that I’m looking back it’s the chance I should’ve took.
To say “I will always love you, even when you’re gone.
I’ll sing on our front porch swing all summer long.”
I never did tell you, but now as you lie in bed,
I swear to you I’ll tell you what I should’ve said.
They say the spark has left your eyes, and I was last to know.
They told me you were dying. I came to tell you please don’t go.
Oh, I will always love you, how you’d kiss me good--night.
I came a hundred miles to be here to tell you, don’t give up the fight.
I know I still need you, no matter what I say or do.
Don’t you dare leave me without knowing I love you.
You scare me with your silence; your hand seems cold tonight.
The monitor stops beeping, while I’m frozen in time.
No, I don’t be--lieve it. It has to be a lie.
They said your heart stopped beating, with your hand still in mine.
When I was a young girl , you told me you loved me.
Now that you’re not on Earth , you’re watching a--bove me.
