If I Could Love the One I Love (Full English Cover)

A full English version of "If I Could Love the One I Love" from Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth! (JP: 好きになれる人を好きになれたならば, Suki ni Nareru Hito wo Suki ni Nareta Naraba)

This one was requested a lot!
It was a lot of fun. It's got a very Japanese sentimentality to it, but it's a nice rock tune. I wrote the lyrics myself based on the Japanese original!

LYRICS:

Living on my own today, surrounded by walls that close in,
The calendar’s page is getting harder to turn every day
The days come and go, as the sun sets.
My anniversary watch ticks on endlessly, like a melancholic metronome
With you at my side, the loneliness would subside, that alone
Would make the days come alive again
Some things aren’t meant to be
Love isn’t destiny
An enclosed world, that’s always kept under wraps
These emotions, they still grow, until they overflow

If I could just love the one I love,
If I was loved by the one I love
If I could control the way that I feel inside,
Oh how much easier would my life be?
And now the rain of reality, muddles the bond between you and me
If only I could be reborn with a second chance
I want to hold you in my arms and never let you go again

If we could turn back the clock,
From where would we start again?
We made our mistakes, but sometimes that’s what it takes all along
The lessons we learn shape our future
Memories and mistakes, they’re all stepping stones
On our path in life
The choices we made and the prices we paid are okay
Sometimes the wrong answer is right

The paint on the wall may fade
Just a ripple in time’s cascade
But these small things, I hold them close to my heart
They’re reminders of the things that I hold dear to me, forever

If I could just love the one I love,
If I was loved by the one I love
If I could control the way that I feel inside,
Oh how much easier would my life be?

Because I can’t love the one I love
Because the one I love can’t love me
And since I can’t control the way I feel inside,
Even now I’m looking for your smile
And now I’m drenched in reality, but the rain doesn’t bother me
Even if it’s just us against the world
I want to hold you in my arms and never let you go again
