If Only I were the President,
I would make things better,
If Only I could turn back time,
I would change everything about me.
If Only there were no wars,
children won't be suffering,
If Only we get together and unite,
the world would be a better place.
If Only things were simpler,
my life won't be like this,
If Only all dad are good dads,
little girls won't get beaten up.
If Only I would've been a better friend,
not getting mad over small things,
If Only you would've talk to me,
things would be better again.
If Only I had talked with my best friend,
he wouldn't have took his own life,
If Only I had say, "It's okay",
he would still be with his family.
If Only we were a good son,
our mother would've been proud,
If Only we didn't shout at her,
She wouldn't be crying her whole life.
If Only my life were like his,
I'd be rich and famous,
If Only I can be someone else,
I'd be a lot better than this.
If Only I had studied harder,
I would've passed my exams,
If Only I had learned,
things would be simpler.
If Only I didn't beat my son,
he would still be able to read,
If Only I'd comforted and hold him,
he would not be disgusted to look at me now.
If Only I didn't beat my wife,
she would still love me,
If Only I didn't talk to her that way,
we would still be a family.
If Only I were brave enough to speak,
tell you it's going to be okay,
If Only I was strong enough to fight back,
tell him it's not okay to talk to you like that.
If Only I had said those things I wanted to,
I wouldn't be regretful now,
If Only I had done what I wanted to do,
I would be different than now.
If Only no one said these things,
oh, but they do all the time,
If Only I didn't write this,
I wouldn't know how much I've missed out in life.
