If I Could Change It All Lyrics - Operation: Mindcrime Ii - Quuensryche

She said, Baby, where you been? 

Whyd you have to leave me? 

Im on the other side . . . just looking in. 

Ive been so high; I climbed to the mountaintop, 

looked at myself and . . . 

Id tell you anything you want to hear. 

And Id desert you when Im through. 

Id say anything because true love 

dont mean a thing to a man, whos not a man, but a fool. 

Look at me! 

Youre a model of efficiency. 

Im always doing what he tells me. 

How can you change it now? 

Im always looking for it down deep inside, 

I thought that this would change my life. 

Have you found out? 

I remember more . . . 

Can you change? 

I can change. 

For years he must have cried a river of tears. 

In his dreams he saw himself . . . a dying man 

drawing figures, arrows in the sand. 

Mmm, I dont think he understands. 

Never thought that it would last forever. 

One glance back . . . theres nothing much to say. 

He watched as it all began spinning further and further from the truth. 

And nothing really matters, when your heart doesnt lead the way.
