If Only

'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

Gonna hold you, love you
In my arms and then
Don't wanna leave you
'Cause I need to
Be with you 'till the end
Then I hear myself reply
You've got to hold it in
This time, tonight

Refrén:
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, that I'll 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 wanna 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 wanna hear you say
It'll always be this way
We'll be hand in hand
For every night and every day
I wanna 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
