Kate Elizabeth Winslet (born 5 October 1975) is an English actress. She was the youngest person to accrue six Academy Award nominations, and won the Academy Award for Best Actress for The Reader (2008). She has won awards from the Screen Actors Guild, British Academy of Film and Television Arts, and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association among others, and has been nominated twice for an Emmy Award for television acting, winning once for her role as Mildred Pierce in the 2011 mini-series of the same name.
Brought up in Berkshire, Winslet studied drama from childhood, and began her career in British television in 1991. She made her film debut in Heavenly Creatures (1994), for which she received her first notable critical praise. She achieved recognition for her subsequent work in a supporting role in Sense and Sensibility (1995) and for her leading role in Titanic (1997), the highest grossing film at the time, and the highest grossing film of Winslet's career.
Since 2000, Winslet's performances have continued to draw positive comments from film critics, and she has been nominated for various awards for her work in such films as Quills (2000), Iris (2001), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), Finding Neverland (2004), Little Children (2006), The Reader (2008) and Revolutionary Road (2008). Her performance in the last of these prompted New York magazine critic David Edelstein to describe her as "the best English-speaking film actress of her generation". The romantic comedy The Holiday and the animated film Flushed Away (both 2006) are among the biggest commercial successes of her career.
Here we stand alone
with this weight upon my heart
and it will not go away.
In my head I keep on looking back
right back to the start
wonder'ng why it was that made
you change.
Refrain:
'cause I'd tried but I have to
draw the line.
And still this questions keep
on spinning on my mind.
Chorus:
What if I had never let you go,
will you be the man I used to know?
If I'd stay, if you tried,
if we an only turn back back time?
But I guess, we'll never know.
Many roads to take
some to joy some to heartache.
Anyone can lose their way.
And if I say that we can turn it back
right back to the start, would you take
the chance and make a change.
'cause I tried but I have to draw
the line. But still this questions
keep on spinning on my mind.
'cause I'd tried but I have to
draw the line.
And still this questions keep
on spinning on my mind.
What if I had never let you go,
will you be the man I used to know?
If I'd stay, if you tried,
if we an only turn back back time?
But I guess, we'll never know.
If we can only turn the hands of time
If I can take you back,
will you still be mine?
'cause I'd tried but I have to
draw the line.
And still this questions keep
on spinning on my mind.
What if I had never let you go,
would you be that man I used to know?
What if I had never walked away,
cause I still love you more
than I can say..
