If Only You
Kuma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I bit my fingers
I learned my lesson
Let feelings linger
Counted my blessings
You were a stinger
With a gold ring
I'm just a singer
You were the best thing
That ever happened to me
And you knew it, you knew it
Power got into your head
You blew it, you blew it
Now you cannot ever get that question out your mind that keeps on saying
No you cannot ever get that question out your mind that keeps on saying
If only
Love could really stay
If only
You had never had strayed
Thought you owned me
Carefully you'd say that I wasn't strong
I walked away
In my zone, please
Needing you to stay out
I wasn't wrong
Run away
Gonna take me down
Turn around
Break it out
Oh oh ocean sounds
Gonna get it down
Gonna make me out
Make me, take me
Take me down
Be around
Gonna be around
Gonna be around
Ooo
One jump hit me like a bullet
Ah hah
Slipped up and it's all exploding
Ah hah ah
One jump hit me like a bullet
Slipped up and it's all exploding
Ah hah ah hah ah
If only
Love could really stay
If only
You had never strayed
Ah ahhhh
If only
Ah ahhhh
If only
Ah ahhhh
If only




Ah
Ah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kuma's song "If Only You" seem to revolve around a painful break-up and the lingering thoughts that come with it. The song starts with a recognition of a mistake made and a wish for things to have been different - "I bit my fingers, I learned my lesson." The singer then seems to reflect on the love that was lost and the regrets that come with it - "If only love could really stay, If only you had never strayed." The lyrics suggest that the singer feels betrayed by their former partner, who they thought owned them and didn't see their strength ("thought you owned me, carefully you'd say that I wasn't strong"). Despite feeling hurt and broken, the singer seems to be determined to move forward and find their own path - "I walked away, in my zone please, needing you to stay out, I wasn't wrong." The song ends with a sense of desperation and the haunting repetition of "if only" - a wish for things to have been different.


Overall, the lyrics of "If Only You" seem to be a raw and honest portrayal of the pain and regret that come with a broken relationship. The singer's vulnerability and longing are palpable, and the repetition of certain phrases drives home the sense of loss and the hopelessness that comes with it.
