If Only - Martine McCutcheon

And so the time has come again for me to let you go

In every way it gets harder but my tears will never show

Sometimes I wish for a final goodbye but my heart can’t take the pain

Of wanting, needing, searching for you

But you can’t do the same

If only the time was right and I could mend your heart

If only it was yesterday and we could make a start

If only you could look at me the way you often do

And speak the words I’m sure I’ve felt

Baby I love you

I love you (Baby I love you)

You think she’s stolen a piece of your heart

It’s left you black and blue

But baby you can take it back

To yourself you must be true

You need someone to hold your heart

It’s what you always say

When in time you let go of hers I will love your hurt away

If only the time was right and I could mend your heart

If only it was yesterday and we could make a start

If only you could look at me the way you often do

And speak the words I’m sure I’ve felt

Baby I love you

I love you (Baby I love you)

Baby I love you (love you)

I love you

So I’m gonna forget if only’s

And soon the world will see

No matter the time, no matter the place

Baby we were meant to be

Baby we were meant to be
