We don't seem to talk much anymore It's getting to hard to egnore Silence taken place of the words before If I'd only payed attention If I'd only heard the call Even with my good intentions And somehow I still let you fall Maybe now you'll have to face the truth Well the writings there for the world to see We could be strangers starting out a new If you'd only payed attention Instead of waitin' for the past We had it all in our posetion Still we didn't make it last Maybe we could wash it all away Just like foot prints in the sand If we could only start it all again Find a way to understand Could have been with me baby If we'd only paid attention There was truth between the lies We were trying to find perfection Instead of leaving love behind Nothings gonna last for ever Let's just never start We couldn't save too stormy weather Stealing time to touch the sun And if we'd only payed attention If we'd only payed attention If only If only If only only only If we only payed attention Sometimes I wonder what would happen If we payed attention
