If Only
TEEKS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I could change things girl don't you think I would.
Now I'm down on my knees and I'm asking God.
Why would you do this to me, why would you do this to me.
Ooooh
If only, if only I could love you
Love you like you want me to
Than everything would be alright.
If only you was that simple
If only I could click my fingers
Oh it's killing me
It's killing me bad.
If I explain myself baby
You wouldn't, you wouldn't understand.
Cause all this love that you're giving
I can't return.
Now I feel like I've let you down
Oh, I've, ah, let you down.
If only, if only I could love you
Love you like you want me to
Than everything would be alright.
And If only, if only you was that easy
If only you was that simple
If only I could click my fingers
The song "If Only" by TEEKS talks about a man who apologizes to his lover for not loving her the way she expects him to. He expresses his remorse for failing to reciprocate her love and wishes he could change it. The chorus repeats the phrase "if only," which represents his wishful thinking and regret for not being able to love her the way she wants. He also acknowledges the pain he has caused her and admits he cannot fully explain himself to her, as she would not understand. The song ends with him expressing his desire to change things and seeking redemption.
