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 nothing's going on
"We" 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 been so broken
We'd have been the one you needed
And if only you'd waited just a second longer
We wouldn't feel 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
