Lyrics
I WASN'T A FRIEND
Written by: LYNN CAREY SAYLOR
This is a mistake
This is not some pre-ordained fate
You should be here
Instead of an endless ocean of tears
(Chorus)
If I could turn back just one day
I'd give anything to make it that way
I'd take the keys from your hand
and I'd make sure you stayed
Instead I let you drive away
I wasnt a friend yesterday.
I don't understand
How I let this happen to you
No one will forget
Your life will matter
This message they'll get
(Chorus)
If I could turn back just one day
I'd give anything to make it that way
I'd take the keys from your hand
and I'd make sure you stayed
Instead I let you drive away
I wasn't a friend yesterday.
(Bridge)
There won't be the good old days
Or your grown kids to praise
I can't make friends with grief
I don't know how I will find relief
(Chorus repeat 2x)
If I could turn back just one day
I'd give anything to make it that way
I'd take the keys from your hand
and I'd make sure you stayed
