Si Pudiera

If I Could
If I could go back in time and change the mistakes I've made
I wouldn't be able to learn so much and walk the path that brought me here
And if I had lost control
I wouldn't be able to live and toast for the fact that I made it through that bad stuff
I wouldn't be anything without the things I've lived through
To the one I let down, I swear I'm sorry
Now that I'm better, I can understand things better
Only as a caterpillar do you become a butterfly
I wouldn't be anything without the things I've lived through
For what I've achieved, I'm grateful for life
To the one who backed down when things weren't going well
Open your eyes wide, you'll see there are beautiful things
I know you've begged on your knees for so many things
Only up there do they know everything that happened
Don't lose hope, good things take time
And when you least expect it, just like you wanted, it will happen
Because what comes easy goes away too easily
What’s hard is valued more
And in the end, for what you cried one day, you will smile
I wouldn't be anything without the things I've lived through
To the one I let down, I swear I'm sorry
Now that I'm better, I can understand things better
Only as a caterpillar do you become a butterfly
I wouldn't be anything without the things I've lived through
For what I've achieved, I'm grateful for life
To the one who backed down when things weren't going well
Open your eyes wide, you'll see there are beautiful things
If I could
Ease your pain so you wouldn't suffer
If I could
Make the depression go away
If I could
Have you value what's inside and not what's outside
If I could
I'd tell you today
I wouldn't be anything without the things I've lived through
Making mistakes in life is how I've learned
Now that I'm better, I can understand things better
Only as a caterpillar do you become a butterfly
I wouldn't be anything without the things I've lived through
For what I've achieved, I'm grateful for life
To the one who backed down when things weren't going well
Open your eyes wide, you'll see there are beautiful things
