If Only

I spend a little extra time to try and look great
I hope to see you first thing everyday at the gate
I sit in the back in class and watch your every move
'Cause I can't figure out what I should say to you

Cho:
If only you could see the yearning in my eyes
How everyday it's hard for me to say our goodbyes
If only you had any clue what I dream of at night
If only I was not so scared to bring it all to light

One day she walked in, glamorous and godly in every way
She flicked her hair and flashed her smile and blew 'em all away
As I stared down at my own dull clothes, she swayed her dress about
And waltzed to you so gracefully and boldly asked you out

Cho: If only...

I sit at home, write heartbreak songs, connect rhyme to rhyme
While she's with you, stealing your heart, giving you a good time
But you don't know how it tears me up to see she's got your soul
'Cause in a perfect world, you'd be mine and we would have it all

Cho: If only...

Years later, I'm standing in a church, decorated and grand
I try to hold my tears back as I watch you take her hand
I call you later and give my wishes, and I'm shocked to the core
When you utter the words that would've changed my world so many years ago

You say that if only I'd seen the yearning that Rose behind your eyes
How at the church you'd suffered trying to say your last goodbyes
If only I had known that you'd dreamt of me every night
If only you and I could've brought ourselves to light
