A1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said that I would never let you down
I needed a chance to prove my love to you
Until time is through
The promises I gave you
I never meant to see them left untrue
You were my everything, I give my heart to you
And all of the days just pass me by
So I pray, and I'm asking why
All that I ask is one more try
Because I never want to say goodbye
[Chorus]
If only I listened to my heart
Then maybe we wouldn't be apart
Now all I can dream about is you
And baby that's all I do
If only we two could start anew
I promise I'd never be untrue
Because all I can dream about is you
And baby that's all I do
You're looking for another
I'm looking for a chance with you again
I guess I never showed you
What you mean to me
Can't you see
Everything I told you
And everything I did I feel was wrong
I didn't know the words I said would make you leave, please believe
And all of the days just pass me by
So I pray and I'm asking why
All that I ask is one more try
Because I never want to say goodbye
[Chorus]
If only, if only, if only, all I do
If only, if only, if only, all I do
If only, if only, if only, all I do
If only, if only, if only, all I do
If only I listened to my heart
Then maybe we wouldn't be apart
Now all I can dream about is you
And baby that's all I do
[Chorus x2]
A1's song "If Only" is a ballad about regret and longing for a lost love. The lyrics express the singer's feelings of remorse for not living up to the promises made to their significant other, and their desire to reconcile and make things right. The song speaks to the universal experience of taking things for granted and the deep sense of loss that follows.
The opening lines of the song, "I said that I'd never leave you, I said that I would never let you down," set the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer acknowledges the mistakes they made in the relationship, admitting they never meant for their promises to be left unfulfilled. They express their love and commitment to their partner, promising to prove their love until time is through, begging for one more chance to start anew.
The chorus repeats the phrase "If only" to emphasize how much the singer wishes they had done things differently. They long for a chance to listen to their heart and be with the one they love again. The lines, "You're looking for another, I'm looking for a chance with you again," express the desperation and hopelessness of the singer and the deep longing they feel.
The song's powerful lyrics, accompanied by its moving melody, perfectly capture the emotional turmoil of regret and loss. It is a relatable and comforting song for those who have experienced similar heartbreaks.

All the things I said to you
And everything I did I feel was wrong
I feel like everything I said and did was incorrect or hurtful
I didn't know the words I said would make you leave, please believe
I didn't realize that my words and actions caused you to leave, but I'm telling the truth
If only, if only, if only, all I do
I constantly wish things could have been different
If only I listened to my heart
If only I had followed my true feelings
Then maybe we wouldn't be apart
We could still be together if I had done things differently
Now all I can dream about is you
I dream of you all the time
And baby that's all I do
Thinking about you is all I ever do
