Would I feel this lonely right now?
If only I wasn't afraid,
Cause I had your arms around me, but I just turned and walked away
If only I could see a happy after,
If only I believed in second chance
If only you were here, standing next to me
If only wasn't only make believe
If only I'd been there for you,
You might have helped when I couldn't go on
If only I'd told you the truth
I'd be dreamin 'bout tomorrow instead of missin yesterday
If only I could see a happy after,
If only I believed in second chance
If only you were here, standing next to me
If only wasn't only make believe
If only we'd shared our dreams
We'd have built a dream just for two
If only we'd held on tight
We'd have someone to hold on to through the dark and lonely nights
If only I'd stayed that day,
Would I feel this lonely right now?
If only I wasn't afraid,
Cause I had your arms around me, but I just turned and walked away
If only I could see a happy after,
If only I believed in second chance
If only you were here, standing next to me
If only wasn't only make believe
If only wasn't only make believe

This song was written melody and lyrics together in about 5 minutes. It all just came out splat on the page and was done. Originally however there was a third verse, it has since been altered melodically to become a bridge section, before heading back into the first verse again. I really like the cyclic effect of going back to beginning again at the end.
This song is about regrets. Regretting what might have been 'If only'...
