If Only

If only you had made it known,
If only it was obvious,
If only you felt the same way.
If only, if only.
If only I could talk to you,
If only you would say what was on your mind,
If only we weren't so sensitive.
If only, if only.
If only we could be together,
If only we could find happiness,
If only things were simple.
If only, if only.
If only I could make it right,
If only time would speed up,
If only I had proper timing.
If only, if only.
If only I could separate myself from you,
If only nothing had happened,
If only you were a fleeting dream.
If only, if only.
If only things would turn out right,
If only I wasn't alone,
If only I could have everything.
If only, if only.
If only I wasn't second best.
If only I shone in my own right.
If only you cared the same way.
If only, if only.
