If You Only Knew

If You Only Knew

If you only knew

Maybe then you would see

That this smile covers up

All the pain I feel in me

If you only knew

Maybe then you would realize

That behind my lonely eyes

There's a little boy who cries

If you only knew

Maybe then you would see

That I'm in love with you

Even a different person, I may seem to be

If you only knew

Then I guess you'd finally know

That there's been nights, I've cried myself to sleep

Trying to let the dreams go...

And if you only knew

You'd see I'm not very strong...

I keep praying that you will become real

Only to see my dreams and hopes gone wrong….

And if you only knew

As you see me wipe the tears away,

Waking up to another morning with a lump in my throat

And knowing my love, you will never stay…

If you only knew…….
