I wish I were a child again,
something I never thought I would say.
I have been through so much,
I never thought it would turn out this way.

I would change so many things,
if I could just start over fresh.
I would have acted more like myself,
instead of trying so hard to mesh.

I wish I stayed on the right path,
I would have never become lost.
Losing my innocence,
is something I would change at any cost.

I could have refused that first drink,
and told my first love no.
I wish I never put up a front,
just to put on a show.

I would have never fallen for the player.
I would have studied harder in school.
I would have listened to my mother,
I would have never broken any of her rules.

I would have never smoked that first ciggarette.
I would have never ran away from home.
I would have learned how to depend on myself,
and learned how to be on my own.

And though I cannot turn back time,
and make everything go right.
Im willing to start clean now,
your love helped me see the light.
Thank you my love
