Wilma Horne - Only if

If i knew that one day you would leave
If i knew that you would be the one
to cause so much pain
If i knew how it would end
i wouldnt have put so much trust in you
I thought that you would always be there
Guess i thought wrong, huh
Couldnt you have at least spared me all this pain
After you left, i sat around wondering 'Why, why like this? '
Then i realized that you couldnt take it anymore
You should have come talked to me
I would have helped and talked to you
It didnt have to end this way
You didnt have to take the gun and put it to your head
And pull the trigger
If only you had talked to me
Your life could have been spared
