hurt

If I only had a voice
to say what you need to hear
If I only had the words
that would help draw you near

if only

If I only had the strength
to climb uphill for you
If I only had the means
to make the lies come true

if only

There was never a time
in my short history
that I ever did anything
just for me

There was never much need
for the feelings so alive
that haunt my every moment
and rain from my own sky


If only I had a voice
to ask for sympathy
If only I had the words
that could bring peace to me

If only I had the strength
to bring about the end
If only I had the means
If only I could pretend

that it didn't

hurt

Love that couplet. I've felt that way.
