Would If I Could

You say that you would like to try again
You'd open up your heart and let us back in
Well, part of me wants to so bad, I can't stand it
Part of me wants to be perfectly candid

I would if I could but I can't
So I won't but I want to
I'd love to say yes but it's best if I don't
Though I'd like to
I love you enough that I'm letting you go
I love you so much that I'm telling you no
I would if I could but I can't
So I won't but I want to

You're telling me things would be different this time
I wish your change of heart would change my mind
I want to believe you, I'd try us again
If I really believed there was some future in it

I would if I could but I can't
So I won't but I want to
I'd love to say yes but it's best if I don't
Though I'd like to
I love you enough that I'm letting you go
I love you so much that I'm telling you no
I would if I could but I can't
So I won't

I would if I could
I do and I don't
I would if I could but I can't
So I won't but I want to
