If I Had It My Way Lyrics

I feel your presence in this empty room

Memories of you stay in tune

The past is here, yet so long ago

I'm finding it hard to let go, so

If I could have it my way

First of all, we'd be together

Call me on the phone when you need me, whenever

Cruise around the town no matter the weather

And I'm trying to find a way to say

If I could have it my way

Well, yeah, you'd be mine

Like how it was before, like we never lost time

Maybe one day when the stars align

But if I never see that day, I say

If I could have it my way

You'd be right here

And I could finally stop living my deepest fear

Sometimes I close my eyes and just hope that you appear

Until I realize that you're far away

If I could have it my way

I'd fix mistakes of the past

And maybe that would mean that we could actually last

Because how things were is a huge contrast

To how they are today, and that's why I say, that

If I had it my way

I'd hold you close, I'd hold you close

I can't let go

I love you so, I love you so

You're everything to me

Why can't my heart just let you go

Why do I love you so

(I love you so, I love you so)

If I had it my way

I'd hold you close, I'd hold you close

I can't let go

I love you so, I love you so

You're everything to me

Why can't my heart just let you go

Why do I love you so

(I love you so, I love you so)

I still remember things about you

The way your eyes shined, the smell of perfume wrapped around you

The way you did your hair, it would perfectly outdo

Everyone else, no one else could amount to you

And I remember your smile

How excited you were seeing me after awhile

I loved everything about your charisma and style

And then it all got ripped away

If I could have it my way

We'd talk all night on the phone

Or better yet, watch the sunrise from our home

Maybe in the mountains or on the west coast

To me it doesn't matter the place

If I could have it my way

Everything would change today

Change in a way we would both be okay

I've been worn down so long, feeling on the fray

And I say all of this to portray that, if I

If I had it my way

I'd hold you close, I'd hold you close

I can't let go

I love you so, I love you so

You're everything to me

Why can't my heart just let you go

Why do I love you so

(I love you so, I love you so)

If I had it my way

I'd hold you close, I'd hold you close

I can't let go

I love you so, I love you so

You're everything to me

Why can't my heart just let you go

Why do I love you so

(I love you so, I love you so)

And you've still got me here

So in love with you

I had to face my fears

To find the ugly truth

That without you I am not okay as I say

And that's why things would change

If I had my own way

If I had it my way

I'd hold you close, I'd hold you close

I can't let go

I love you so, I love you so

You're everything to me

Why can't my heart just let you go

Why do I love you so

(I love you so, I love you so)

If I had it my way

I'd hold you close, I'd hold you close

I can't let go

I love you so, I love you so

You're everything to me

Why can't my heart just let you go

Why do I love you so

(I love you so, I love you so)

And you've still got me here

So in love with you
