If I Could Fly

One Direction · Made In the A.M. [2015]

[Verse 1: Harry & Liam]

If I could fly, I'd be coming right back home to you

I think I might give up everything, just ask me to

Pay attention, I hope that you listen cause I let my guard down

Right now I'm completely defenceless

[Chorus: Harry]

For your eyes only, I'll show you my heart

For when you're lonely and forget who you are

I'm missing half of me when we're apart

Now you know me, for your eyes only

For your eyes only

[Verse 2: Louis & Niall]

I've got scars even though they can't always be seen

And pain gets hard, but now you're here and I don't feel a thing

Pay attention, I hope that you listen cause I let my guard down

Right now I'm completely defenceless

[Chorus: All]

For your eyes only, I'll show you my heart

For when you're lonely and forget who you are

I'm missing half of me when we're apart

Now you know me, for your eyes only

For your eyes only

[Bridge: All & Harry]

I can feel your heart inside of mine, I feel it, I feel it

I'm going out of my mind, I feel it, I feel it

Know that I'm just wasting time

And I

Hope that you don't run from me

[Chorus: Liam & All & Harry]

For your eyes only, I'll show you my heart

For when you're lonely and forget who you are

I'm missing half of me when we're apart

Now you know me, for your eyes only

For your eyes only, I'll show you my heart

For when you're lonely and forget who you are

I'm missing half of me when we're apart

Now you know me, for your eyes only

For your eyes only

For your eyes only
