if only

if only I cared

‘cause no one else out here will for me

if only I cared

if only

if only I cared

life would be different

I might’ve done better in school

I might’ve shown on time to things more often

I might’ve kept track of my things

or gave a shit about my job

and quit pissing away my time

ooo ooo oooo oo ooo ooo oo

if only I cared,

freshman year

I might not have crashed my car

might’ve gotten more sleep

the night before

that first day of school

how that might’ve changed

my year

ooo ooo oooo oo ooo ooo oo

if I had a dollar every time

I felt alive

I have a few bucks to my name

and a lot of regret

on my mind

but I must earn a dollar

every time

I’ve changed my mind

‘cause I’m headed to the bank

and I haven’t said “if only” in some time!

 

ooo ooo oooo oo ooo ooo oo
