If Only

                          If Only

 If only we'd have thought to send you roses
 For no reason then to just send them to you
 And if only we thought to say more clearly we love you
 If only we'd not assumed by then you knew

 And if only we'd have tried a little harder
 If only we'd have said a little more
 If only we'd have held you closer
 Then maybe we'd be holding you tonight
 If only you, if only us
 The saddest words are not goodbye
 They are if only

 If only "we" hadn't pretended nothings going on
 It might have truly started going
 If only we'd have paid a bit more attention
 To all the little things we might have your all today

 And if only we'd have tried a little harder
 If only we'd have a bit more clear
 If only we'd have held you tighter
 Then maybe we'd be holding you tonight
 If only you, if only us
 The saddest words are not goodbye
 They are if only

 If only we'd not gone half a world away
 We'd have been the one you needed
 And if only you'd waited just a second longer
 We wouldn't like such a fool

 And if only we'd have tried a little harder
 If only we'd have excepted just a friend
 If only we'd have never held you
 Then maybe we'd not wish to hold you tight
 If only for you, if only for us
 The saddest words are not goodbye
 the saddest fucking words are . . .
 if only
