If I Met Myself Again

If I met myself back then I wonder what I’d say
Would I tell that simple wide-eyed girl the truth
If I met myself back then, a child who’d lost her way
Who was just about to pay the price of youth
I’d tell her only fools rush in and think the heart can lead
I’d tell her grow a thicker skin, 'cause girl you’re gonna bleed
I’d tell her blue skies turn to grey, the only question’s when
I’d make her see the future’s me
If I met myself again
If I met myself again I wonder what she’d say
That love-struck girl who thought she was so smart
If I wonder of the men, the ones that got away
And worse the ones that stay and break your heart
I’d tell her love’s a losing game that’s better left unplayed
I’d tell her you’ve yourself to blame for every choice you’ve made
And I’d tell her and I’d tell her till my voice gave out
And then, she would smile and wait a while
And go and do it all again
If I met myself again
If I met that girl again I’d tell her sink or swim
I’d wake her up and god I’d make her run
I’d turn back time and say girl stay away from him
But if I did, if I dared
There’s a price I would pay
And I’d lose cause I won’t have my son
If I met myself again
If I met myself again
If I met myself again
