If Only I Knew How

Author's Note (June 9, 2009): I wrote this when I was fifteen, and, going over it now, I think it had some potential, so I decided to post it on here for some feedback and possible editing. Unfortunately, I don't have a microphone on my computer (and I'm definitely not a singer!), so I don't have audio posted along with it. I realize that the lack of audio might mess up the reader's perception of the lyrics a bit, but I'm still looking for opinions on the quality of the lyrics. Though eventually, I plan to ask one of my friends (with a much better voice than I) to sing it and I'll find a way to post it on here. Until then, enjoy!

Walking away was the hardest thing I've ever done.
I wanted to stay, but what we had together was gone.
I guess I should have seen it coming,
I guess I should have read the signs
but I was blinded by my heart
and in my mind, I know,

I'm never coming back again,
I'm on this road that never ends and,
I think it's gonna take some time for me to get over this.
I've felt the pain through it all,
I've watched you stumble, trip and fall and,
I know it's best for me to move on now.
If only I knew how.

The best of friends, that's what we were, you and I.
But in the end, your promises turned into lies.
I tried my best to be strong.
I wanted so much to believe
that my love could save us,
(Oh) But now I've seen
the worst in me.

I'm never coming back again,
I'm on this road that never ends and,
I think it's gonna take some time for me to get over this.
I've felt the pain through it all,
I've watched you stumble, trip and fall and,
I know it's best for me to move on now.
If only I knew how.

And to this day I still remember,
Pain still cuts me deep inside.
The memories stay forever and
I can't seem to hide.

I'm never coming back again,
I'm on this road that never ends and,
I think it's gonna take some time for me to get over this.
I've felt the pain through it all,
I've watched you stumble, trip and fall and,
I know it's best for me to move on now.
If only I knew how.
