If Only
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 thought it wasn't wrong
To hide from you
Simple truth
I was scared
I felt it all along
But it hurt to much for me, to share
If only I, had been this blind
I'd have someone to hold on to
If only I, could change your mind
If only I had known, if only I had you...
Finally understand
Why things have happened
And how it all could go so wrong
Will this pain ever end?
'Cause I don't think I can carry on
If only I, had been this blind
I'd have someone to hold on to
If only I, could change your mind
If only I had known, if only I had you...
If only I had you!
If only I had you!
If only I, had been this blind
I'd have someone to hold on to
If only I, could have spoke my mind
If only it were true, we could start brand-new
I know I'll make it through
If only I had you!
If only I had you!
If only I had you!
