By Now I Would Have

You live in peace
And you know me
I’m not one that’s easily changed
What was I supposed to do
When I left you?
Forget the warmth that we shared?
Well
If I wanted to by now I would have
If I wanted to by now I would have
If I wanted to by now I would have
If I wanted to by now I would have
A kiss here
A thrill there
I pretend they all have dark curly hair
I even found a perfect match
And when I’m asked to stay
I run away and say
If I wanted to by now I would have
If I wanted to by now I would have
If I wanted to by now I would have
If I wanted to by now I would have
I wanna call
I wanna write
But I think it’d be way out of line
I must admit I’m still hung up
And trust me
I could love again
If I wanted to by now I would have
If I wanted to by now I would have
If I wanted to by now I would have
If I wanted to by now I would have
It was right
It happened
I try not to hurry
Nothing good gets away
