I'd go working in daytime

Instead of staying out all night

And if I felt bad and sick

I'd pretend I'm alright



Every day I'd bring you flowers

I'd go walking your dog

I would do it all right this time



I wouldn't mind doing the dishes

I would not let you wait

Would play your favourite records

And pretend they're just great



And if you like I'd sell my car

And ride a bike instead

I would do it all right this time



And I swear I'd still be right here in twenty-five years from now

And I'd mean it when I say I love you, and I'd let it show

Each day I'm alive I would only live to make you feel fine

All that and more I would do

If you were still mine...



I'd join you on those parties

And pretend I have fun

I'd see the bright side of things

Even if there is none



And I would swallow all my fear

To not make you concerned

I would do it all right this time



And when you're lying to yourself

I'd notice but wouldn't tell

Whenever you're fooling yourself

I'd let you fool me as well



So if my eyes were your mirror

I'd swear you'd like what you see

I would do it all right this time



And I swear I'd still be right here in twenty-five years from now

And I'd mean it when I say I love you, and I'd let it show

Each day I'm alive I would only live to make you feel fine

All that and more I would do

If you were still mine...
