If you could save your love one’s life by never having met them, would you do it?

lyrics

History is set in stone
The past is everlasting
Every moment stands alone
Like dominoes in twisted rows

Every hour and day and breath
Is leading where I couldn’t dare
The future holds my heart bereft
A promised land of dark despair

When the time arrives
I will know that I’ve
Had all the joy that life
Could give
But what I give you more time

If I had the chance to do it again
Would I change a thing?
One chance to prevent a bitter end
And in exchange: everything

I know I’ll soon be losing you
The stone has carved your name
But there’s a little thing I could do
Just lose it all so you remain

If you and I had never met
Then you would have your chance
Go back in time and then forget
Every part of our romance

Is it better never to have loved
When losing you means everyone has lost
Better never ever having to fall
And our memories are the cost
Is it better losing all we had
All the good and all the bad
Every sordid rendezvous
Is it better losing you?
