if only

if only i'd have thought to send you roses

for no reason just to send you roses

and if only i thought to say more often i love you

but i just assumed you knew

and if only i'd have tried a little harder

if only we'd have talked a little more

if only i'd have held you closer

then maybe i'd be holding you tonight

if only you

if only i

the saddest words are not goodbye

they're if only

if only we hadn't just pretended there was nothing wrong

it might not have ended

if only we'd have given more attention

to the small things

we might have it all today

and if only i'd have tried a little harder

if only we'd have talked a little more

if only i'd have held you closer

then maybe i'd be holding you tonight

if only you

if only i

the saddest words are not goodbye

they're if only

instead of silence

there'd been angry words

if we had only listened

we just might have held our hearts

and if only i'd have tried a little harder

if only we'd have talked a little more

if only i'd have held you closer

then maybe i'd be holding you tonight

if only you

if only i

the saddest words are not goodbye

they're if only
