If Only

If only you were here, if only I were there
If only I knew how to belong to you.
If only you could see how much you mean to me
If only I could make you feel the way I feel.

If only I could just let go, I could let you know...
I could give the love back better couldn't I?
Why am I so worried about this guy?
Why can't the cynicist in me just die?

If only I could always be my best, brighten up
And shake off all the blues for the rest...
Time could be on my side instead of working against me.

The higher the high, the lower the low
And that's how love used to go.
The sharper the pain, the greater the gain...
That's what I foolishly believed.
