If only it was never me
If only I would stay
If only I could only be
the person that is hiding beneath
If only I could pray
If only I was just like them
If only I could mend
If only I was brave enough
If only I could win
I wish that was me
raising up from the shattered creek
But as one has already realized
If only, I will always breath
If only, I am doomed to speak
