If Only

The sun goes down

Another day passes me by

The human heart crumbles

And another soul is questioning why

Under the paint we're black and white

Scared to fight

You hold the answers that are always wrong

And always right

Hold it or push it away

The answers that you're scared to face

Chorus: I never said that it'd be easy

Even if we tried

I never said that

I could read through your mind

You turn to me lookin' for answers out of my concern

I guess you wouldn't be so lonely

If only you could learn

So far but so close

That you can hit it with the sound

Of your breakin' heart

When the ocean surrounds me

I close my eyes and listen to the sound

Of the waves crashin' in on me

As I tumble through the darkness

Keeping still my shaking breath

Are you ready yet?

Repeat Chorus

I'm tellin' you we're better off

Better off this way

Stand up and face tomorrow like today

Repeat Chorus
