If She Only Knew Lyrics

If she only knew
What I knew but couldn't 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 she's gone away, maybe she'd say
If she'd only knew
If she could just feel
What I feel here in my heart
She'd know it was real
Pure and true right from the start
But I'm just a man who didn't understand
What she was going through
But she's gone away, maybe she'd stay
If she only knew
And how, how did I let her get away
'Cause love, love is so easy to feel

But the hardest thing to say
If she could just see
What I see when I close my eyes
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
Tell me, tell me how, how did I let her get away
(Tell me)
'Cause I guess love, love is so easy to feel
But the hardest thing to say
If she only knew
What I knew but couldn't 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)
She's gone away, maybe she'd stay
If she only knew, if she only knew
