If Only

If only you could stay true
and not hurt me the way you do
if only i'd listened to what i'd been told
and my heart held on with a stronger hold

If only you had talked to me
then together is what we'd still be
if only my heart was able to heal
and the pain i feel wouldn't be so real

If only the miles weren't what kept us apart
and a brand new beginning we could start
if only we could have made it through
and the loss of you isn't what it had to come to

If only we could have held on longer
then our relationship now would be stronger
if only this could be a bad dream
then that much better it would seem

If only you'd have at least told me why
i could have spent less time trying not to cry
but in the end this is how you chose it to be
So don't even try coming back to me
