If Only You

Transposer:

CAPO 4 I’m giving up I’m going home I’m leaving you behind A sorry suit no substitute I’ve never been so tired I’ve tried before I wanted more no matter what you had If only you you you you. You you you would have the heart to take it back If only you you you you. You you you would ever have the heart to ask. And now you’ve said too many times that trouble’s walking by. I’ve met them once or twice before but never so unkind. I’ll stand aside I’ll walk behind no matter what you had If only you you you you. You you you would have the heart to take it back If only you you you you. You you you would ever have the mind to ask. No don’t I know. that I’ve been this way before. I’d find my way out of any game of yours. You can’t deny when it’s me you’re thinking of And I’ll play along just to give it up. So now I know I’ve said hello to Jekyll and to Hyde The trouble is I still can’t say who I want by my side Truth be told I love them both and I’m no better half. If only you you you you. You you you would have the heart to take it back If only you you you you. You you you would ever have the heart to ask.

Cette chanson évoque le sentiment de désillusion et de fatigue face à une relation compliquée. Le protagoniste exprime un désir d’évasion, s’interrogeant sur l’absence d’empathie de l'autre personne, tout en laissant entendre une forme d'attachement ambivalent. Malgré des expériences douloureuses, il demeure tiraillé entre ses sentiments pour deux personnes, sans savoir laquelle choisir. Cet état d'esprit reflète une lutte interne, où le cœur et l'esprit se confrontent à la réalité des choix difficiles dans l’amour. Le contexte semble être celui d’une rupture ou d'une séparation, où les promesses non tenues et les attentes déçues créent un malaise. On ressent une profondeur émotionnelle liée à la recherche d’authenticité et de réciprocité dans les relations, mettant en lumière la complexité des sentiments humains.
