Lost entirely to a soft innocence

In a young girl's in love

Trusting everything to his hand

That's what's to be expected

And she'll give her life before she even knows it

Chanting Christian vows she barely understands

If only, if only, if only

"God is good," she repeats to herself

And everything's in black and white

All of the maidens, all of the men

Were taken by her beauty

And she'll give her life before she even knows it

Chanting Christian vows she barely understands

If only, if only, if only

In a starry sky

Filled with flickering wishes

One for you and I

I thought I knew

I thought I knew

I thought I knew

If only

I could speak my mind

Without the chorus mocking

If there's a God

I think he'd disagree

With most everyone

Most everyone

Most everyone
