If Only

Maybe i could breath
                                       ~if only you didnt steal my breath

maybe i could see
                                       ~if only you didnt fill my eyes

maybe i could smell
                                       ~if only your sent didnt fill my nose

maybe i could feel
                                       ~if only your skin didnt haunt mine

maybe i could sleep 
                                       ~of only you didnt fill my dreams

maybe i could eat
                                       ~if only you didnt fill my hunger

maybe i could walk 
                                        ~if only you didnt make my knees quiver

maybe i could stand
                                        ~if only you didnt make me weaker

maybe i could stop smiling 
                                        ~if only you weren't around

maybe i could cry
                                        ~if only you took my hope away

maybe i could fall 
                                        ~if only you didnt make me stronger

maybe i could truly live
                                        ~if only you were by my side

so baby
...i wish i could say it's your fault if i die 

but maybe i could die
                                      ~if only you didnt exist
