[Verse 1]
I can't believe that you're gone and we're alone
I can't believe that we'll never see your face
I can't believe that you're at the gates of heaven
I can't believe that we'll never know you

[Chorus]
If only, if only
Miracles happened every day
If only, if only
I could believe in something
Helpless we cried over you
Empty and lost over you

[Verse 2]
How in the world can they say that you're at peace?
How in the world can they say that time will heal us?
How in the world can we hope to be forgiven?
How in the world can we know how we feel?

[Chorus]
If only, if only
We could all live forever
If only, if only
No memories to remember
Words were not spoken for you
No grave marks our love for you
Broken our hearts call for you
No one can blame us but you

[Outro]
How in the world can we ever smile again?
How in the world can we live without you?
