If Only - Mike + The Mechanics

Still waters always run so deep

I’ve heard you cry in the night And talk in your sleep

Why would you want to

Keep it all inside?

Now you’re alone

With nothing but your pride

If only you’d listened to me

Cos I still want you now

I don’t want to be free

If only you listened to me

Cos I still feel the loss

And it won’t let me be

I’ve tried talking long into the night

But nothing that I tried to say

Ever came out right

There’s no point in crying

My tears have run dry

I hope that you’re satisfied

If only you’d listen to me

Cos I still want you now

I don’t want to be free

If only you listened to me

Cos I still feel the loss

And it won’t let me be
