If I’d Been the One - 38 Special

I've been lost inside empty space in my heart
And some things never change oh
How it hurts me and how it's tearin' me apart
And it just goes on and on
Can you read my mind
Take a good look at my face
Could you take the time
Just to stand here in my place
What if I'd been the one to say goodbye goodbye
Could you smile when inside you just wanna cry look inside
Can you read my mind Oh oh
When I hear your name
Feel so cold deep inside
Still it's hard to explain oh
What your love meant to me
They say time will heal the pain
But it just goes on forever
Can you read my mind
Have you closed the door on love
Can you be so blind
Did you think I'd just give up
What if I'd been the one to say goodbye goodbye
Could you smile when inside you just wanna cry wanna cry
What if I'd been the one to say goodbye goodbye
Could you smile when it hurts so deep inside
And it never fades away fade away
Time can't erase the reasons why
Count my mistakes and the heartaches
Since you said goodbye
What if I'd been the one to say goodbye goodbye
Could you smile when inside you just wanna cry wanna cry
What if I'd been the one to say goodbye goodbye
Could you smile when it hurts so deep inside
And it never fades away fade away
Never fades away no it don't fade away
