Verse 1:
It's amazing what a painted smile can do.
Can't cover up the quiver in your frown.
And it's crazy how shedding tears is so taboo.
We only choke up when no one's around.
PreChorus1:
So we pour a little glitter on the coal.
'Cause everything that glimmers isn't gold.
Ohhh Ohhh…
We're living in a careless masquerade,
An anything but honest state of grace,
Oh please please please,
Won't someone save me?
Chorus:
I'm starless beneath this
Temporary somber shine
Just a misfit glamorized.
Confession, I promise
All this glitter's just for show.
Curtain up, my cue to go. 
Verse 2:
I would rather burn out than fade away.
I'm marching on to lead the fool's parade.
When I say it's alright, then I mean it's all wrong.
So fall in line 'cause we're all about face. 
PreChorus 2:
So I pour a little glitter on the coal
Pretending I'm a winner in control.
Ohh oh oh, it's all for show.
Everyday's an encore, same old song.
My superficial sideshow must go on
Now you know it all, so here's my curtain call.

Chorus:
I'm starless beneath this
Temporary somber shine
Just a misfit glamorized.
Confession, I promise
All this glitter's just for show.
Curtain up, my cue to go.
I'm starless...
I'm starless...

i’m alright, i’m okay, i’ll be fine
i can lie a couple (hundred) times
but i can’t, i can’t cross a line
can’t cross the line

i’ve been stressed, i’m a mess, i’m okay
it’s not like you know me -- anyway
i’m alright, i’m okay, i’ll be fine 
with you on my mind

you - if you could only love me
then i - i’d only only love you
you - if you could only love me
then i - i’d only only love you

emptiness - fighting fist with wall
no way out, i mean, who can i call
domino - i know i’m next to fall
next to fall (yeah)
rapidly, going deep, stay alive
i can try or at least say i - hehe
maybe i made my mistakes 
but i’ll never give in to this fate

you - if you could only love me
then i - i’d only only love you
you - if you could only love me
then i - i’d only only love you

who are you drinking up
you’re far from sober, causin’ ruck
why don’t you pull it round now
slightly goin’ down now
check me ‘fore you take a hit
take another thought, a dirty sip
rewind, replay, you’ll always get your way
if you could only love me
then i - i’d only only love you
no- but you don’t even see me yeah
when i can only see you
if you could only love me

but you don’t even see me yeah
when i can only see you
if you could only love me

but you don’t even see me yeah
when i can only see you
if you could only love me

Only If

Only (If)

I have put this up for my friend Jono Freeman who introduced me to John Mayers great song writing. I just had to do this song as I just love the original and had to try my hand at it. I did this is eighteen (2 years ago) and will redo the drum track one day, as I have better drums now than I did in eighteen.:-)
