Stop the track,
Make it go back
If only
If only

You can’t keep on doing this
It’s a hit or a miss
If only
If only

See the fear in my eyes
I’m protective of your demise
If only
If only

When the words can’t come out
And there is no doubt
If only
If only

Let your lips whisper my name
I know this isn’t a game
If only
If only

I can keep a promise
As long as you stay
If only
If only

Just an arms length away
From where my body will lay
If only
If only

Please just stay with me
And make another memory
If only
If only
