If Only
Maya Payne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I pause to watch the sky
Should I take this leap,
Or will it bury me?
IF ONLY I, only I could change
IF ONLY, only I, only I could
IF ONLY, only I, only I could
IF ONLY, only I, only I could
IF ONLY I could
I can't speak, I'm so emerged
Maybe I don't deserve
I'm the only one to blame
IF ONLY I, only I could change
IF ONLY I, only I could change
IF ONLY, only I, only I could
IF ONLY, only I, only I could
IF ONLY, only I, only I could
I would do it all again
IF ONLY I could
Tell the world I'm trying
Spread my wings and fly
Oh, I continue to suffer
It could wreck my desire
IF ONLY I, only I could change
IF ONLY I, only I could change
IF ONLY, only I, only I could
IF ONLY, only I, only I could
IF ONLY, only I, only I could
I would do it all again
IF ONLY I could
The lyrics of Maya Payne's "If Only" seem to be about regret and the desire to change the past. The singer is contemplating taking a leap or making a decision but is unsure if it will lead to her downfall. She wishes she could change the past and do it all again. The phrase "If only I, only I could change" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the singer's desire for control over the situation and her regret for not being able to change the past.
The lyrics also express a sense of self-blame and possibly self-doubt. The singer seems to believe that they are the only one to blame for their current situation or their past mistakes. The lines "Maybe I don't deserve" and "I continue to suffer" emphasize this feeling of self-doubt and perhaps a lack of self-worth. However, despite these feelings, the singer expresses a desire to tell the world that she is trying and wants to spread her wings and fly.

Voyd Officialย trust me, nobody likes it when people advertise like this. instead of making these kinda comments focus on making better music. make a name through your music, not placing comments on youtube videos. becoming big takes long.
