If Only It Was Me

If Only It Was Me
[Verse 1]
I see you standing in the moonlight glow,
With someone else, like I’ll never know.
The way you laugh, the way you shine,
Like you were never truly mine.
I trace the echoes of your touch,
But ghosts don’t feel like much.
You walked away without a sound,
Left me lost, never found.
[Chorus]
If only it was me, holding your hand,
If only I was the one where you stand.
I’d give the world just to turn back time,
Rewrite the story, make you mine.
But love don’t wait, love don’t see…
So I’m left here whispering,
If only it was me.
(Piano swells, aching strings join in, carrying the weight of longing.)
[Verse 2]
Do you ever hear my name at night?
Does it haunt you in the quiet light?
Or am I just a page you turned,
A lesson learned, a bridge you burned?
I should’ve held on, I should’ve stayed,
But now it’s too late for “could’ve” and “maybes.”
You found another, you found your peace,
And I’m left here with memories.
[Chorus]
If only it was me, holding your hand,
If only I was the one where you stand.
I’d give the world just to turn back time,
Rewrite the story, make you mine.
But love don’t wait, love don’t see…
So I’m left here whispering,
If only it was me.
[Bridge] (Quiet, raw, stripped-down moment—just piano and voice.)
I let you slip right through my arms,
Now I’m a prisoner to the past.
Tell me, was it ever real?
Or was I just someone to outlast?
(A moment of silence, a deep breath, then the final chorus swells with full emotion—strings, piano, voice soaring.)
[Final Chorus] (Passionate, desperate, fading into acceptance.)
If only it was me, holding your hand,
If only I was the one where you stand.
But love moves on, it won’t stay still,
And I can’t change what never will.
No love don’t wait, love don’t see…
So I’ll learn to live with whispering,
If only it was me.
