If Only
Calling Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's the way of love?
Tell me your fiction
Tell me your lies
Say to me now you'll never forget this night
I'm feeling emotionless
My head's so clear
My enemies aren't the ones I fear
You know your kiss confuses
This troubling soul
And I found out
That we're all breaking hearts
That we're all broken hearts

If only love could find us all
If only hearts didn't have to fall
We can't mislead to make things right
So instead we'll sleep alone tonight

What's the way of love
You are thinking I'm crazy
But you're blushing of lust
I've heard a lot of nice things
But tell me which ones I'm to trust
These wall we made are glass
And they have been known to crack
But until then
You'll keep pushing my way
And I'll keep pushing you away

If only love could find us all
If only hearts didn't have to fal
We can't mislead to make things right
So instead we'll sleep alone tonight

If you want to take a chance
And try to make things right
You better have a reason to be loved
We all want something more
And it is worth fighting for

If only love could find us all
If only hearts didn't have to fall
We can't mislead to make things right
So instead we'll sleep alone tonight

And if fate were in my hands
Would it be enough to understand




Why we feel lost in a world so small
If only love could find us all
