Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one
I still got the seed
How is it that even though I fell in love with the person I knew best and who new me best it still ended with heartbreak?
You said move on
Where do I go?
Go where? Back to Italy? To New York? To Ireland? Where?
I guess that second best
Is all I will know
Because even though he treats me right, he's still not you...
Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do
If you were the one
Who was spending the night
What would you do if it was you who I was marrying? You who I moved in with and shared the bed with on my wedding night? If I bore your child what would your reaction be? Would you be happy, angry, scared, excited, what?
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes
You're like an Indian summer
In the middle of winter
Like a hard candy
With a surprise centre
Everyone thought you were perfect. Unharmed, unaffected, unscarred by the war, your father leaving, your mothers favouritism towards your sister. But you weren't. Your heart was scarred all over. I'm surprised it was still in one piece.
How do I get better
Once I've had the best
You said there's
Tons of fish in the waters
So the waters I will test
You warned me. Told me this might happen. Said to move on if it I did. I got married, had children, grew old. Without you.
He kissed my lips
I taste your mouth
He pulled me in
I was disgusted with myself
I felt dirty. How could he love someone like me? Someone who had nothing to offer? You took everything with you, my heart, my soul, my love, everything that made me, me.
Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do
If you were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into...
You're the best
And yes I do regret
How I could let myself
Let you go
How could I let you go to war? I knew you didn't have to go and you told me that you wouldn't if I didn't want you to. But still I let you because I didn't want to stand in your way. But only if I had. What would my life have been like if I said no. If I asked you to stay?
And now the lesson's learned
I touched and I was burned
Now you scarred my heart, left me wondering how it was still beating? Still in one piece?
Oh I think you should know
Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
I thought about you at least once a day. On my wedding day, what if it was you?
When I gave birth to a child, what if it were yours?
What if, what if...
What you would do
If you were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Oh wont you walk through
And bust in the door
And take me away
Why didn't you come home? Died serving your country, dignified, an honour, but not fair... so not fair.....
No more mistakes
Cause in your eyes
I'd like to stay...
You will always be my biggest what if Nico Di Angelo. What if you hadn't gont to war in Europe? What if you stayed and we got married, had children? What if I became Sophia Di Angelo instead of Sophia Jacobs? So many what ifs, Nico, so many.....
