If you

Leon Smith 2004 (Forida)



If you took the time to think
If you just stopped and listen
if you have learned from mistakes
if you would care
then you wouldnt be sitting here in you thoughts day and night trying to figure out where you went wrong. just sitting there wishing and praying you can go back in time and fixed it.
if you have just stopped put your pride and ego aside and opened your damn eyes. then maybe you will see your wrong doing.
maybe you will see the hurt and damage you have caused
then i wouldn't be siting here in this dark lonely mind saying "if you"
i told you one day you are going to screw up beyond return . i told you time and time again but no you never listened never had. never will.
i have tried and tried i am now tired and done
goodbye
