Lyrics
Your body's not here with me, but I feel you near
Arguments linger, but it's love I hold dear
Hearing those voices, so familiar, so clear
Imagining you, only shadows disappear
[Pre-Chorus]
Mistakes were plenty, can't count the wrongs
Counting the rights, feels like a lonely song
Hopeful, wishing, dreaming, this sweet torture
Retracing my steps, oh how I adore ya
[Chorus]
If only I had treated you like the queen you are
If only I had realized you were my shining star
If only I wouldn't be lonely, caught in this fight
Kissing a picture, longing for the light
[Verse 2]
Took for granted what I thought would last
Believed you'd never go away, now it's all in the past
In a fleeting moment, I own my mistakes
Pushed you away, now my heart slowly breaks
[Bridge]
(Different musical changes here, emotions swirling)
A soulful expression, winds of regret
Melodies intertwine as I struggle to forget
[Chorus Repeat]
If only I had been a better man for you
If only I gave all the love I had, it's true
If only I did the things I needed to do
If, if, if, I'll hear as long as I live too
[Verse 3]
Two letters make a word, feels much too long
If picture this, a dark cloud, love's swan song
If only I could change the way that I act
If I could take it back, would you still want me back?
[Musical Break]
(A fusion of diverse sounds, rhythmic exploration)
[Outro]
If I had one wish, I'd wish to be one with you
Picture this bliss, in a world made for two
If only I had treated you kinder, my dear
If one word 'if' is a reminder so clear
If I could search the world, I'd find you... if
