If I live long enough maybe I'll forget you,

If I could live at least ten million years.

If I cry hard enough maybe I'll stop hurting,

If I could cry an ocean or two of tears.

If I search far enough, maybe I'd find someone,

If I could search from here to the stars above.

If I run fast enough I'd catch all of my old dreams,

But the speed of light won't help me regain your love.

If I scream loud enough you would hear all my anguish

But you don't care if my heart breaks beyond repair.

If I live long enough maybe I'll smile someday,

But there's no laughter in the midst of this deep despair.

If I count high enough I could count all my heartaches,

If I could count the stars in the midnight sky.

If I live long enough maybe I won't love you,

But since you've gone I've already begun to die.
