If only i was a carpenter I'd build a roof above my walls The storm within falls like teardrops And a voice like thunder makes me fall If only i could find a way To live without my heart Perhaps i could give it to someone else And rip the chains apart But you know what they say You can't have your cake and eat it too So I'll be starving from this disease A dream i know could never be true If only I was father time Then maybe i coud stop the clocks Id pull my spirit where it lingered And say goodbye where i used to talk But you know what they say You can't have your cake and eat it too So I'll be starving from this disease A dream i know could never be true This is goodbye baby To everything ive known Like a vagabond in your mind I have no place to call my own But you know what they say You can't have your cake and eat it too So I'll be starving from this disease A dream i know could never be true

If Only
If only i was a carpenter I'd build a roof above my walls The storm within falls like teardrops And a voice like thunder makes me fall If only i could find a way To live without my heart Perhaps i could give it to someone else And rip the chains apart But you know what they say You can't have your cake and eat it too So I'll be starving from this disease A dream i know could never be true If only I was father time Then maybe i coud stop the clocks Id pull my spirit where it lingered And say goodbye where i used to talk But you know what they say You can't have your cake and eat it too So I'll be starving from this disease A dream i know could never be true This is goodbye baby To everything ive known Like a vagabond in your mind I have no place to call my own But you know what they say You can't have your cake and eat it too So I'll be starving from this disease A dream i know could never be true
