If Only

I liked a girl in the tenth grade
But I was afraid of what she'd say
Well I worked up the nerve one day
At the end of school I said hey
Do you want to be my girlfriend today?

Love is such a pretty thing when it's turning out
With the only person you could never live without
Love is such a pretty feeling when it's just begun
Maybe if I had just been better we would still be as one

If I only had the guts to do what a boyfriend ought to do
If I wasn't so afraid of what the future held for me and you
If I wasn't such a fool, if I wasn't such a dork
If I only knew the way to make my feelings work
Then maybe we could have made this work

Do you ever think about the days we left behind?
Do you ever wish you could go back and hit rewind?
Love is such a pretty feeling but now it's gone and died
If only I could hold you in my arms one more time

If I only had the guts to do what a boyfriend ought to do
If I wasn't so afraid of what the future held for me and you
If I wasn't such a fool, If I wasn't such a dork
If I only knew the way to make my feelings work
Then maybe we could have made this work

My mind, it's prone to wander
Sometimes I can't help but ponder
Why it had to end like this
My voice, it tends to falter
Holding on to what's no longer his
Why did it have to end like this?
Tell me, was it so bad
What we had
When we had it
That you had to let it go, had to let it go?
Tell me, was it so bad?
Was it so bad?
Was I so bad?

If I only had the guts to do what a boyfriend ought to do
If I wasn't so afraid of what the future held for me and you
If I wasn't such a fool, If I wasn't such a dork
If I only knew the way to make my feelings work

But, I don't think we could have made this work
No, I don't think we could have made this work
I don't think we could have made this work
No, I don't think we could've
I don't think we could've
I don't think we could have made this work
(Jhonny says you're a good friend)
No I don't think we could have made this work
(A good friend, but not a good girlfriend)
I don't think we could have made this work
(Maybe that's better in the end)
No, I don't think we could've, I don't think we could've
(In the end, it's better if I never see you again)
I don't think we could have made this work
(Jhonny says you're a good friend)
No I don't think we could have made this work
(A good friend, but not a good girlfriend)
I don't think we could have made this work
(Maybe that's better in the end)
No, I don't think we could've, I don't think we could've
(In the end, it's better if I never see you again)
