If Only I

If I had known better,
If only I had been a bit more clever.
If only, thats all that's left to say.
Still with the crazy ideas I play,
If only you would come back someday.

You left without saying a goodbye,
All that is left is a deep, saddened sigh.
If only I had been wiser in my decisions,
If only I had declared my love with precision.

I repeat the words "IF Only" over and over,
Hoping they'll bring me the luck of a clover.
If only I had been there when you needed me,
Then laying here with me you would still be.
