Escape The Fate - If Only Lyrics






There's so many things we left undone, so much we didn't do
Still got that shirt you let me borrow that I never returned to you
So many things I should've done but I always got off track
Here's the money that I owe you that you never asked for back

Cause you never asked for anything, not anything at all
Except once in a while you'd ask if I could give you a call
Oh I wish that I had listened then, how I wish I gave a damn
How I wish that I could call you now just to tell you how I am

If only I had found the time
If only I had even tried
If only I had done enough
Having to let you go wouldn't have to hurt so much

Since the day you left us things just haven't been the same
My family hasn't spoken since the day you went away
If only you could see us now I know you'd be ashamed
Can you send me a sign from heaven and help us change our ways

If only I had found the time
If only I had even tried
If only I had done enough
Having to let you go wouldn't have to hurt so much

I can hear your voice in everything, in every single song
And it's tough holding my head up high still knowing that you're gone
These times are so confusing but I know that in the end
We will spread our wings and fly away the day we meet again

Don't leave, I need you now

If only I had found the time
If only I had even tried
If only I had done enough
Having to let you go wouldn't have to hurt so much

I need you now

If only I had found the time
If only I had even tried
If only I had done enough
Having to let you go wouldn't have to hurt so much

  3. K.... P....

  4. L.... ....

    This part gets me every time

    Cause you never asked for anything, not anything at all
    Except once in a while you'd ask if I could give you a call
    How I wish that I had listened then, how I wish I gave a damn
    How I wish that I could call you now just to tell you how I am

  5. B.... D....

    This reminds me of my life

    B.... D....

    😢😭

  6. E.... M....

    Esse álbum teve músicas muito calmas comparada às outras kkkkk ou é impressão minha

  7. J.... N....

    this reminds me of drifter by FIR musically.
    (I'm a fan of both bands before y'all come at me)

  8. n.... f....

    This song means so much to me. It hits right at home. I just recently lost my mother on December 2nd and this song, word for word, is how I have felt since she passed away 😢

  9. c.... b....

    Very beautiful song love you guys 💙💙💙💙💙

  10. Q.... b....

  14. A.... M....

    OH MA LORD!!! THIS IS SO GOOD

  15. c.... u....

    do anyone knows were can I get the tab for this song?

  16. E.... ....

    Love this track. Fantastic Album!

  17. N.... D....

    This song is so beautiful I cry every time I hear it

  18. R.... S....

    Robert wrote this song for his grandfather who passed away a few years ago. This song touches my heart in ways I can’t explain. Much love 💛

    R.... S....

    Rita Sliter did he really

    R.... S....

    Jae Phalcon Yeah! He talked about it at their concert here in El Paso Texas 😢

  19. j.... A....

    Holy fook

  20. H.... ....

    Anyone getting a ronnie radke vibe (back when he was in ETF)???

    H.... ....

    like The Day I Left The Womb mixed with The Drifter?

    H.... ....

    I'm glad Ronnie kept writing. I love both bands, but I'll be honest FIR I like a bit more

    H.... ....

    You mean the ONE song out of roughly 20 that Ronnie wrote in ETF that sounds like this one?

  21. K.... H....

    I thought of my best friend when listening to this 😭 nearly cried I wish I could have called him one more time before he died 😭

  22. B.... ....

    Never shout never is you ? 🤦🏻‍♀️ miss the old Escape the fate 🤷🏻‍♀️

  23. E.... C....

    I love this song soooooo much anyone got tickets to the concert on may6?

  24. R.... E....

    This f**ks me up so much 😢😭

  25. R.... M....

    It’s quite obviously that Craig made this song for her grandma, who passed away recently. That alone is quite sad and meaningful.

    R.... M....

    Actually Robert wrote this song about his Grandfather who passed away.

    R.... M....

    I'm curious to where heard that? I thought this was about Craigs Grandma also

    R.... M....

    Robert has said it himself multiple times on his Patreon

    R.... M....

    Ripper Maxxy I just saw them live and Robert was the one who explained it and they played it live

  26. J.... ....

    Kinda reminds me of The Day I Left The Womb for some reason

  27. E.... Q....

    OMG YEE

  28. R.... ....

    the fact this song sounds like Drifter just makes it that much more hard hitting. what a great song man

  29. G.... M....

    Song perfect #BRAZIL!!!!fodaaa demais

  30. Y.... ....

    *I need you now..*

  31. h.... i....

    Um, this song sounds like Drifter by Falling in Reverse...
    That's mean this is a good song:)
    (p.s. I love both of them)

    h.... i....

    They have a completely different tempo and notes

    h.... i....

    Came here looking for this comment. I thought that immediately when the song started

  32. S.... c....

    Sometimes this song sounds like Drifter from Falling In Reverse. Hmm. But nice song!

  33. a.... r....

    😭😭😭

  34. H.... ....

    I started listening to this album the second I was able to after being sick, and after hearing the intro I knew it’d be me favourite song on the album. Well done boys!! You’ve done it again :)

  35. K.... ....

    OMG!! I wanna punch who said this album sucks. This one is such a masterpiece. I'm actually amazed they can make music like this. <3

    K.... ....

    I agree this is one of the best albums 2nd would be This War Is Ours

    K.... ....

    Ray lowe my favorite album by them would have to be This War Is Ours (as its the first album I listened to by them) and this would have to be my second, I love the lyrics (I can relate to the lyrics in most of the songs on this Album), I can relate to If Only because my uncle died of cancer last year and in the last few months I didn't visit him in the hospital and I regret not seeing him before he passed, and I just love the sound of this album

    K.... ....

    This album is definitely one of their worst, maybe just above the self titled

  36. s.... a....

    I like your new allbum is great!!!

  37. D.... V....

    No one said it? This song is almost like Falling In Reverse - Drifter. Check it out.

    D.... V....

    what? imma check it.

    D.... V....

    I checked it. i think they're both "country music type" if i'm right (sorry i'm not good at naming genres), so maybe that's why this looks like drifter :)

    D.... V....

    this one's more like The Day I Left The Womb than Drifter honestly

  38. L.... 9....

    anyone figure out the right chords?

    L.... 9....

    Anthony Wheeler i found out the chords! Its in standard D tuning! Chords are G# Fm C# D#

  39. r.... ....

    “brother” type lyrics with “the day i left the womb” instrumental

    r.... ....

    agreed and add Drifter there too.

    r.... ....

    So basically it's a Ronnie song lol

    r.... ....

    Strongly influenced, I want to believe. Or they tried to go back to the start. (older ETF)

    r.... ....

    they probably tried writing something different than their usual stuff then it came out like a Ronnie song

    r.... ....

    roboguardian03 thought the same exact thing.

  40. A.... m....

    Waw.. Thats a very emotional song.. Sometimes you tell yourself you're the only one who regrets neglecting a loved one but the truth is we don't have the time.. That's the sad thing about our modern times.. And god bless you Craig just be proud of yourself.. Sometimes its better to live life on your own terms when you really believe in what you do

  41. L.... M....

    reminds ne of my old boyfriend Ali. He committed suicide on January 31st. i miss him every day.

  42. J.... O....

    who's listening in 2032?

  43. a.... ....

    Mano essa música lembra pelo menos um pouco The Day A Left The Woomb meu Deus

  44. C.... H....

    If only we had met in another life different world things could've been different. Oh, how things could've bee different.

  45. S.... H....

    If only......I could like this 2x

  46. j.... g....

    Oh man I can't wait to hear the whole album, from the singles and what I have listened to so far, it sounds like they are pouring their heart and soul on this one. Those lyrics in verse 3, "I hear your voice in everything, in every song, its tough holding my head high, when you're gone" and so on. It reminded me of my grandfather (who passed away) and I thought I was gonna cry but then surprisingly I didn't. Shows that I have gotten over him, only took like a year. Thank you so much ETF!!!!!!!

  47. S.... P....

    [Verse 1]
    There's so many things we left undone, so much we didn't do
    Still got that shirt you let me borrow that I never returned to you
    So many things I should've done, but I always got off track
    Here's the money that I owe you, that you never asked for back
    'Cause you never asked for anything, not anything at all
    Except once in a while you'd ask if I could give you a call
    How I wish that I had listened then, how I wish I gave a damn
    How I wish that I could call you now just to tell you how I am

    [Chorus]
    If only I had found the time
    If only I had even tried
    If only I had done enough
    Having to let you go wouldn't have to hurt so much

    [Verse 2]
    Since the day you left us things just haven't been the same
    My family hasn't spoken since the day you went away
    If only you could see us now I know you'd be ashamed
    Can you send me a sign from heaven and help us change our ways?

    [Chorus]
    If only I had found the time
    If only I had even tried
    If only I had done enough
    Having to let you go wouldn't have to hurt so much

    [Verse 3]
    I can hear your voice in everything, in every single song
    And it's tough holding my head up high, still knowing that you're gone
    These times are so confusing, but I know that in the end
    We will spread our wings and fly away the day we meet again

    If only I had even tried
    If only I had done enough
    Having to let you go wouldn't have to hurt so much
    I need you now
    If only I had found the time
    If only I had even tried
    If only I had done enough
    Having to let you go wouldn't have to hurt so much
