If Only

[Verse 1]
The word "if," just two tiny letters
Says so much for something so small
The biggest little word in existence
Never answers, just questions us all

[Chorus 1]
If regrets were gold, I'd be rich as a queen
If teardrops were diamonds, how my face would gleam
If I'd loved you better, I wouldn't be lonely
If only, if only, if only

[Verse 2]
But looking back now, I see clearly
With my twenty-twenty hindsight
Oh, but don't think I haven't paid dearly
'Cause you could be in my arms tonight

[Chorus 2]
If regrets were gold, I'd be rich as a queen
If teardrops were diamonds, how my face would gleam
How I let you go, I swear it's beyond me
But if only, oh, if only

[Chorus 3]
Oh, if only I could start over, if I could go back
Have the power to change things, then I would do that
But I listened to others like a fool, oh, shame on me
But if only you would just come back, if only, dare I even ask
Oh, if only
