If Only

If only I could read the sign infront I would find a way to whom I'm meant to be
My heart is a broken plate
My heart is fire burning in flames
You played me like a play station
Ohh what pain I've felt

I didn't know who to tell
I had low self-image
I had no confidence
How do you sleep at night
Knowing that you have hurt someone
Knowing that you've killed somebody daily with pain
Knowing that someone is deeply hurt

Where do you get the guts to be happy
How could you?
If only I could read a sign in front I would find a way to whom I'm meant to be
