Christine Evans - If Only

The sun goes down, another day passes me by
The human heart crumbles and another soul is questioning why
Under the paint we're black and white, scared to fight
You hold the answers that are always wrong and always right
Hold it or push it away
The answers that you're scared to face

I never said that it'd be easy, even if we tried
I never said that I could read through your mind
You turn to me lookin' for answers out of my concern
I guess you wouldn't be so lonely
If only you could learn

So far but so close that you can hit it with the sound
Of your breakin' heart,
When the ocean surrounds me
I close my eyes and listen to the sound
Of the waves crashin' in on me
As I tumble through the darkness
Keeping still my shaking breath
Are you ready yet?

I never said that it'd be easy, even if we tried
I never said that I could read through your mind
You turn to me lookin' for answers out of my concern
I guess you wouldn't be so lonely
If only you could learn

I'm tellin' you we're better off, better off this way
So get up and face tomorrow like today

I never said that it'd be easy, even if we tried
I never said that I could read through your mind
You turn to me lookin' for answers out of my concern
I guess you wouldn't be so lonely
If only you could learn
