if i met you in another world
i'd take your place at three years old
i'd go through everything again
if you would just preserve
some small trace of innocence
endure all the trauma
greet my old friend pain
i promise i will do it all
if you promise you won't change.
if it might divert your destiny
i'd cry and cry and cry
i already know the feeling
step up, hit me one more time.
if i knew it meant your happiness
some part of me survived
you could find the answers
you could tell me what it's like
in the darkness i would free you
to make use of all your dreams
i would live through those horrid years
because you deserve to receive
the love you give to this world
(because you deserved better)
because you are something special
(because you had potential)
because i love you
(because i loved being you)
because i want you to succeed
(because you could have succeeded)
and if i met you in another world
i'd do it all again.
