If Only
Show N Prove Ft. Shakka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'd come after me
Give me time of day
(Give me time of)
Who knew
Ms "Just get out my face"
Now you crave my space
I'd say let's find a spot
You'd roll your eyes
Dumb jokes to make you laugh
You'd just despise
Why is it you appear,
Now that I don't try
If only you knew
If only you knew
This aching I harboured
If only I could
Display my pain
If only you knew,
The burns that I suffered
If only you knew
If only, if only
If only you knew
If only, if only
x4
Some days
I tell myself that I
Can take her out' my mind
Then I cave,
She'll turn and say oh hi
Then it's back to Zombie life
I'd say let's find a spot
You'd roll your eyes
Dumb jokes to make you laugh
You'd just despise
Why is it you appear,
Now that I don't try
If only you knew
If only you knew
This aching I harbored
If only I could
Display my pain
If only you knew,
The burns that I suffered
If only you knew
If only, if only
If only you knew
If only, if only
x4
Ho hooo ho hooo
Whoooooo ooo ooo
Ho hooo ho hooo
O-o-o-oooo, if only you knew
If you knew, if you knew
Yeah!
If only you knew
This aching I harbored
If only I could
Display my pain
If only you knew,
The burns that I suffered
If only you knew
If only, if only
If only you knew
If only, if only
x4
The lyrics of "If Only" by Show N Prove featuring Shakka tells the story of a man who had a crush on a woman who used to reject him. However, now that he has moved on, she seems to crave his attention. He then wishes that the woman knew the feelings he harbored all along and the aching he has endured due to her rejection.
The song explores themes of regret, unrequited love, and the pain of being rejected. Through the lyrics, the singer expresses the desire for the woman to understand how much he liked her and how much he suffered because of her constant rejection.
The chorus of "If Only" is very catchy and emphasizes the singer’s desire for the woman to know how he feels. The repetitive "If only you knew" reinforces the idea that the singer longs for the woman to recognize how much he cared for her.
