If I Wanted to*

I Want To...

Blog...

Study...

Celebrate special birthdays with my friends...

Take my gorgeous lover out to dinner...

Play music just for me...

Read lots of books...

Spend less time in bed...

BUT

just because [If] I Wanted To...

I simply can't right now

So I look forward to the day I can.

If I wanted to I could be as patient as death
Fix this hole in my heart leaking into my flesh
If I wanted to I could turn sparks into ice
There'd never be another woman who could make you
think twice
I wouldn't have to be in love with you
If I only wanted to
If I only wanted to
