If Only
If Only
You would see the light and decided to fly right.
You and I could have it all as we journey on in a world.
That can be so cold and lonely without someone to love you truly as well as deeply.
If only you could stop all of the game playing in addition to start telling me the truth.
Then it would perhaps be possible for you and me to date again so we can still work on becoming husband and wife living out the American dream.
Which is to have a nice house, nice cars as well as a kid or two to finish?
Off the equation turning or house into a home.
If you truly loved me like you say you do then I advise for you to do what I wish for you to do before I am gone for good without and thoughts of ever looking back.
If you only knew how to understand me and respect my wishes then you could have it all.
As we go through life together hand and hand just trying to live life to the fullest and be happy doing it.
