Eddie Shin – If Only

If only I could stay there right by your side
If only I could stay there where you and I we used to lie
but who am I to say that you are mine
If only I could stay there
If I could stay there yeah
If I could get you outta my head
Would've done it before you said
It's over baby it's true I know we're through but hey
I got one last thing to say
Just hear me out
If you don't mind before you walk away

Cuz love I know I've been a fool
I tried to play it cool
Thought it might be better that way
But if I can make it up to you
I'll never hurt you girl it's true
No more never ever ever again

If only I could stay there right by your side
If only I could stay there where you and I we used to lie
but who am I to say that you are mine
If only I could stay there
If I could stay there yeah

If only you decide that I can stay it's up to you
But deep inside girl I know that's what you wanna do
And I'll be right there no teaser coming soon
I feel shot it's hard to take this in hundred proof
I'm only left to pray for us to set it straight
The skies gettin' gray I wish a better day
I put aside my childish ways
Done with playing games girl if only I could stay come on

Cuz love I know I've been a fool
I tried to play it cool
Thought it might be better that way
But if I can make it up to you
I'll never hurt you girl it's true
No more never ever ever again

If only I could stay there right by your side
If only I could stay there where you and I we used to lie
but who am I to say that you are mine
If only I could stay there
If I could stay there yeah

Girl I'm slowly losin' my mind
Everyday feels like I'm grindin'
Said Im'a do it on my own
Never felt so alone
I got one last thing to say
Just hear me out
If you don't mind
Before you walk away

If only I could stay there right by your side
If only I could stay there where you and I we used to lie
but who am I to say that you are mine
If only I could stay there
If I could stay there yeah

Girl I'm slowly losin' my mind
Everyday feels like I'm grindin'
Said Im'a do it on my own
Never felt so alone

but who am I to say that you are mine




If only I could stay there
If I could stay there yeah
