If Only lyrics

Cause I need you.
Cause I need you.

Every single time I see you
I start to feel this way
It makes me wonder if I'm ever
Gonna feel this way again
There's a picture
That's hanging at the back of my head
I see it over and over

I want to hold you, love you.
In my arms and then.
I want to need you,
Cause I need to
Be with you 'til the end.
Then I hear myself reply
You've got to hold it in.
This time, tonight.

[Chorus]
If only,
I had the guts to feel this way.
And if only,
You'd look at me and want to stay.
And if only,
I'd take you in my arms and say,
I won't go, 'cause I need you.
Cause I need you

I sit here waiting wondering,
Hoping, gotta make this right.
Cause all I think about
Is your hands, your face,
And all these lonely nights.
There's a feeling, screaming,
In the back of my head.
Saying over and over.

Gonna hold you, love you.
In my arms and then.
Don't want to leave you,
Cause I need to
Be with you 'til the end.
Then I hear myself reply
She'll never let you in.
This time, tonight.

If only,
I had the guts to feel this way.
And if only,
You'd look at me and want to stay.
And if only,
I'd take you in my arms and say,
I won't go, 'cause I need you.
Please don't go, 'cause I need you now.

I want to hear you say,
It'll always be this way.
We'll be hand in hand
For ever night, and ever day.
I want to scream and shout.
Cause I'm losin' any doubt.
Cause all I care about is
You and me, and us, and now.

Oh yeah.

If only,
I had the guts to feel this way.
And if only,
You'd look at me and want to stay.
And if only,
I'd take you in my arms and say,
I won't go, 'cause I need you.
Please don't go.
Cause I need you now, yeah
Cause I need you
(if only)
Cause I need you now.
(if only)
Cause I need you
I need you
(if only)
Cause I need you
(if only)
Cause I need you
(if only)
(if only)
Cause I need you now, yeah
