Lyrics If I Could Go Back - Dominique

If I Could Go Back

Little girl, big world
Handcuffed to wrists of extroverted girls, girls
Never spoke, never broke
Free from the role of everybody’s shadow
But that’s the old me, and I’ve left all my past behind
Still wish that I could go back in time
If I could go back
I’d do it all again
Put some nerve into my backbone
We could get along
If I could go back
I’d step into this persona
I’ve come to know
If I could go back
Auto-pilot, always quiet
Couldn’t dare to make my presence known or break my silence
Intimidated
Always felt like an enormous understatement
But that’s the old me, and I’ve left all my past behind
Still wish that I could go back in time
If I could go back
I’d do it all again
Put some nerve into my backbone
We could get along
If I could go back
I’d step into this persona
I’ve come to know
If I could go back
Held captive by regret
All these things left unsaid
My whole self left unshown
Now they will never know
Why was I so afraid
Of seeming out of place
Like I did not belong
Just say nothing at all
If I could go back
I’d do it all again
Put some nerve into my backbone
We could get along
If I could go back
I’d step into this persona
I’ve come to know
If I could go back
