If Only

[Verse 1]
You said
"I’m scared of hurting you"
But you cut first
Then you pulled away
Left your sweater on my chair
Left my name on your tongue all day

[Pre-Chorus]
I replay every word you threw
Like loose change on my bedroom floor
You kept saying
"it’s not the right time"
But you never tried to open the door

[Chorus]
If only you believed in me
Like I believed in you
Maybe we could have been something
But now we are nothing (yeah)
If only you had stayed to see
What we were growing into
Maybe we could have been something
But now we are nothing (yeah)

[Verse 2]
You still watch all of my stories
You still haunt all of my dreams
Guess it’s easier to linger
Than to say what you really mean

[Pre-Chorus]
Did you ever see us clear
Or was I just your in-between?
I was drawing out a future
You were scribbling over me

[Chorus]
If only you believed in me
Like I believed in you
Maybe we could have been something
But now we are nothing (yeah)
If only you had stayed to see
What we were growing into
Maybe we could have been something
But now we are nothing (yeah)
