If Only Lyrics

Hand in hand we spend the night
Love comes easy by candlelight
We lie about our past to make each other believe
That this is the love that will last
Eternity

If only
If only

If only
If only

If only I could believe that tomorrow
When I wake from my sleep
That you'll still be with me
Oh, my love
My love will always be

If only
If only

If only
If only

If only I could believe that tomorrow
When I wake from my sleep
That you'll still be with me
Oh, my love
My love will always be

If only
If only

If only
If only

If only
If only

If only
If only

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think it means that the relationship is only based on what they feel in the moment, and disregard what they had in the past with others, even if it meant a lot. So, it's kind of sad because the singer knows that it won't last forever, and they're only fooling themselves.
