Lyrics
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.
Forgive me such idle repetition
But i'm not stirred by this competition
Too soft to be unmoved
But enough is enough
To have the power to do whatever i choose
Anything on offer is forbidden
I disgust myself, i'm too all-forgiving
What's enjoyment, what is perfection
When you lose sight of yourself
In your failing powers of recollection?
Tomorrow's just one day away
I said the same thing yesterday
Together whatever however forever
So why is it essential
To be calm and collected?
We all have crosses to bear
But do we all have to be resurrected?
Yes i'm sure and i try to believe
But still i want more than you would give to me
Tomorrow's just one day away
I said the same thing yesterday
Together whatever however forever
Tomorrow's just one day away
I said the same thing yesterday
Together whatever however forever
Together whatever however forever
Forever, ever, ever and ever
