If Only - Tara MacLean

Old ballet shoes tossed in the corner.

I put my cigarette out on the floor.

Same old broken down face in the mirror,

And fist sized hole in the door.

If only I could see past myself

These ankles keep twisting in vain

And the older I get the more things

I let be to blame.

Same old god, same old prayer.

I keep repeating myself but Im not getting anywhere.

Theres that old letter you wrote me.

You said you wanted to be a star.

Same old broken down car in the driveway,

I guess we didnt get too far.

If only I could see past myself,

These keys they keep turning in vain,

And the older I get the more things I let be to blame.

Same old god, same old prayer.

I keep repeating myself but Im not getting anywhere.

If only I keep talking to that same old god.
