If Only

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 I'm not getting anywhere

There's 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 didn't 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 I'm not getting anywhere

If only I keep

Talking to that same old God
