Only If

Only If

This composition is about a relationship burning out, and the result of one side caring more than the other. The terrible feeling of helplessness.

I'm standing on the crossroads of time
frozen by how you said what you said
you sure know how to make my soul cry
as my higher self begins to watch me fade

oh...
eh...
woe...

Lately, your heavenly eyes become rather blind
like for tonight give me sleep or death
my hearing's drowning in echoes do you know why?
is there someone within you who burns to escape

Wanting you
is the only thing I've ever wanted to do
but only if (only if)
You want me too

Needing you
is the only thing I've ever needed to do
but only if (only if)
You need me too

I see the storms of fate coming
and your wait to wash me off in it's rain
Another cry in despair but you ain't turning
What goes around comes around but it's still a shame

Loving you
is the only thing I've ever needed to do
but only if (only if)
You Love me too

Wanting you
is the only thing I've ever wanted to do
but only if (only if)
You want me too

Needing you
is the only thing I've ever needed to do
but only if (only if)
You need me too

Loving you
is the only thing I've ever needed to do
but only if (only if)
You Love me too
