Lyrics
If Only Was Never Meant To Be
If only I had known how much I needed you.
I would have been more careful from the start.
I'd hold you close to me
Not make you cry so needlessly
'Til finally you left and took my heart.
If only I had seen that breakup coming
I could have done some things to make you stay.
I'd share my hopes and dreams
Not run those endless schemes
I never would have watched you walk away.
If only I had been a better lover.
If only I had been a better friend.
If only I had tried to see
Just how much you mean to me,
We never would have reached this bitter end.
If only I had listened to your heartbeat
And all the times you cried because of me.
I miss you so,
I need you so,
I never should have let you go,
If only...if only...
If Only Was Never Meant To Be.
If only I could see into the future
Back then, I could have seen what we've become.
I'd treasure every kiss
We never would have come to this
So many things I never would have done.
If only I could stop and start all over,
I'd be the man I know I ought to be.
Honest, faithful, true
In everything I do
I know I could have made you proud of me.
If only I had been a better lover.
If only I had been a better friend.
If only I had tried to see
Just how much you mean to me,
We never would have reached this bitter end.
If only I had listened to your heartbeat
And all the times you cried because of me.
I miss you so,
I need you so,
I never should have let you go,
If only...if only...
If Only Was Never Meant To Be.
