if she only knew lyrics

If she only knew, what I knew but could not say
If she could just see that part of me I hid away
If I could just hold her in my arms again and just say "I love you'"
What can I say, maybe she'd stay, if she only knew

If she could just feel, what I feel here in my heart
She'd know it was real, going true right from the start
But I'm just a man who didn't understand what she was going through
She's gone away, maybe she'd stay, if she only knew

How, how did I let her get away?
Love, love is so easy to feel
But the hardest word to say

If she could just see, what I see when I close my eyes
She's all that I dream, surely she would realize
But like a fool I waited much too long to let her know the truth
She's gone away, maybe she'd stay, if she only knew

And how, how did I let her get away?
Love, love is so easy to feel
But the hardest word to say

If she only knew, what I knew but could not say
If she could just see that part of me that I hid away
If I could just hold her in my arms again and just say "I love you"
She's gone away, maybe she'd stay, if she only knew

Only knew my world is gray, each night I pray
She only knew that she only knew,
I said I'll pay, what can I say? If she only knew
If she only knew, if she only knew
Oh yeah
