Jett River - If I could go back Lyrics

I saw the lines on my mother's face today,
Her smile, once bright, now fades away.
I was too busy chasing my own dreams,
To see the love she gave behind the scenes.

If I could go back,
I'd hold her hand a little tighter,
See the pain she hid behind her smile.
If I could go back,
I'd listen more to what he didn't say,
Feel the weight he carried every day.

The love I didn't see,
Was always right in front of me.
Now I understand,
Her tears watered my path.
If I could go back,
I'd wipe those tears away.

My father, once strong, now walks slow,
His silent struggles I didn't know.
I was focused on my own way,
Not seeing the price he had to pay.

If I could go back,
I'd hold her hand a little tighter,
See the pain she hid behind her smile.
If I could go back,
I'd listen more to what he didn't say,
Feel the weight he carried every day.

The love I didn't see,
Was always right in front of me.
Now I understand,
Her tears watered my path.
If I could go back,
I'd wipe those tears away.

I thought the world was mine to own,
But it was their love that built my home.

The strength I didn't see,
Was what kept me free.
Now I realize,
His silence held so much inside.
If I could go back,
I'd ease his heavy load.

I thought the world was mine to own,
But it was their love that built my home.

If I could go back,
I'd listen more to what he didn't say,
Feel the weight he carried every day.

The love I missed,
Was always there in every kiss.
Now I understand,
Their sacrifice shaped who I am.
If I could go back,
I'd love them more each day.

I can't turn back time,
But now I know,
Their love will stay with me wherever I go.
