If Only I Could Cry Lyrics by Daniel Powter

Turn On The Lights

2012

You're breaking to pieces
Try not to feel it
You say that I crossed the line
For better or for worse
I meant every last word
Some times I just won't deny
I tried to say it loud and clear
But it's not what you want to hear
That I may hurt you
And I may want to
I'm gonna make you cry
Yes I will, yes I will
I'm barely breathing
But you just don't see it
I'd show you my tears if I
If only I could cry
Was I too honest
Isn't that what you wanted
Or did you just want me to lie
The sting in your last kiss
Was enough to make me miss
The ones that made everything right
I tried to say it loud and clear
But it's not what you want to hear
That I may hurt you
I may want to
I'm gonna make you cry
Yes I will, yes I will
I’m barely breathing
But you just don’t see it
I'd show you my tears if I
If only I could cry
Who's to say
Who is wrong
Who's to blame
Who's guilty or at fault
Did you mean
What you said
Were you trying to get away
Will you stay
Will you go
Are you coming home?
Breaking to pieces
Try not to feel it
I may hurt you
I may want to
I'm gonna make you cry
Yes I will, yes I will
I'm barely breathing
But you just don't see it
I'd show you my tears if I
If only I could cry
If only I could cry
If only I could cry
If only I could cry
