If Only You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm giving up
I'm going home
I'm leaving you behind
A sorry suit
No substitute
I've never been so tired
I tried before
I wanted more
No matter what you've had
If only you, you, you, you
You, you, you would have the heart to take it back
If only you, you, you, you
You, you, you would ever have the heart to ask
And now you've said
Too many times
That trouble's walking by
I've met him once
Soft lies before
But never so unkind
I'll stand aside
I'll walk behind
No matter what you've had
If only you, you, you, you
You, you, you would have the heart to take it back
If only you, you, you, you
You, you, you would ever have the mind to ask
No, no no no, that I've been this way before
I'll find my way out of any game of yours
You can't deny when it's me you're thinking of
And I'll play along just to give it up
So now I know
I've said hello
To Jekyll and to Hyde
The trouble is
I still can't say who
I want by my side
All truth be told
I love them both
And I'm no better half
If only you, you, you, you
You, you, you would have the heart to take it back
If only you, you, you, you
You, you, you would ever have the heart to ask
