If Only lyrics

So hold your head, hold your tongue

But only say what you have to and as a child

Yes, I dreamed of holding her in the silverscreen

She loved her man and loved him twice

I wish I'd been that passenger

Having fun fly my kite

The devil inside won't control my life

To much love so little hate

The devil inside won't control my fate

Oh, if only, if only

Oh, he wasn't so lonely

He'll have someone to play with

Instead of bombing our neighbours

Yeah yeah

So here I go to see

The world with my eyes and with my soul

Too much love and so little hate

The devil inside won't control my fate

Oh, if only, if only

Oh, he wasn't so lonely

He'll have someone to play with

Instead of bombing our neighbours

Yeah yeah yeah

So hold your head and run my time

The what of life, no man can rhyme

So here we are and here we bleed to be a victim

There's no need having fun, I never fight

The devil inside controls my life

To much love so little hate

The devil inside won't control my fate

Oh, if only, if only

Oh, he wasn't so lonely

He'll have someone to play with

Instead of bombing our neighbours

Oh, if only, if only

Oh, he wasn't so lonely

He'll have someone to play with

Instead of bombing our neighbours
