If Only

You fill the air
While I fall through the floor
Lift me up before I sink some more
I try to paint a picture in your head
You rearrange all of the things I've said

If only we could follow our feet
Look around and plainly see
All the colours
As vivid as before

Do we not share the same design
We both laugh and cry and hurt sometimes
Still you're blinded by your violent sight
You can only see in black and white

If only we could follow our feet
Look around and plainly see
All the colours
As vivid as before

Please don't hold your breath
You know some things only change when you want them to
Though everything it seems hidden from view
Won't you take your head from your hands
And see
Isn't it funny how we fight
And we love to push away
And we love to give out blame
Though we won't receive it

Some questions they will turn you upside down
It's easier to block out all the sound
I tell myself that I'm still in the right
The blackened skies make sleeping hard some nights

If only we could follow our feet
Look around and plainly see
All the colours
As vivid as before

Please don't hold your breath
You know some things only change when you want them to
Though everything it seems hidden from view
Won't you take your head from your hands
And see
Isn't it funny how we fight
And we love to push away
And we love to give out blame
Though we won't receive it

Oh you mirror hanging there on the wall
Am I just as cruel as them all
Stony exterior made up my mind
I'll batter and bruise till you see with my eyes
Oh you mirror hanging there on the wall
Am I just as cruel as them all
Stony exterior made up my mind
I'll batter and bruise till you see with my eyes

If only it was easy
If only it was quick
If only it took nothing
But nothing's an easy fix

If only
If only
If only
If only
