IF ONLY

You said to me, if only I would apply myself
I said maybe I'd start if only you would stop pressuring me

But you kept the pressure on me, you said pressure makes diamonds
And now I know that I don't have to spend my life anymore with if only's

Now I'm ready to rid my life of all my if only's
All my regrets, all my excuses, now I'm ready to

Take the ball and run with it and take the pressure and become a diamond
Because now I know there's not a single moment to waste with if only's

I refuse to waste my time on if only's anymore
Cause you just can't replace it, so watch out I'm slamming open every door
That opportunity comes knocking on, I'm not gonna hold back anymore
No, I'm not gonna hold back anymore

Now I'll take the ball and run with it and take the pressure and become a diamond'

If only everyone knew what you told me, how much they could do
If only they would take on their fears and
Start living their life how they should, brand new

Then they would take the ball and run with it
