If Only - By John Carter

If only I can just hold on
Maybe you won't leave again
But clinging to you
Only pushes you away

Maybe if I hold back
I won't worry you this time
If I hide my scary love for you
You'll settle down to stay

But hiding love just kills it
It won't thrive in the dark
Its blossoms shed their petals
And the roots dry up and die

Without your shining light
This love will never last
And it will kill my spirit with it
Every time I hear your sigh

For time is not a healer
My pain only grew worse
And silence is not the answer
When all I need is your song

If I cannot show all my love
I won't show any at all
If only you'd show me yours
I'll love you everlong.
