What I knew but couldnt say
If she could just see
The part of me that I hid away
If I could just hold her in my arms again
And just say I love you
But shes gone away, maybe shed stay
If she only knew
If she could just feel
What I feel here in my heart
Shed know it was real
Pure and true right from the start
But Im just a man who didnt understand
What she was going through
But shes gone away, maybe shed stay
If she only knew
Bridge:
And how, how did I let her get away
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
cause love, love is so easy to feel
But the hardest thing to say
If she could just see (see)
What I see when I close my eyes (close my eyes)
All that I dream (dream)
Surely she would realize
But like a fool I waited much too long
To let her know the truth
Shes gone away, maybe shed stay
If she only knew
2nd bridge:
Tell me, tell me
How, how did I let her get away (tell me)
cause I guess that love
Love is so easy to feel
But the hardest thing to say
Say, say, say, say
If she only knew
What I knew but could not say
If she could just see
The part of me that I hid away
If I could just hold her in my arms again
And just say I love you, I love you
Shes gone away, maybe shed stay
If she only knew, if she only knew
Maybe shed stay but she ran away
Why she had to go away
cause of what I didnt say
Dont know what to do
Oh God how I wish that she knew
