If she only knew
What I knew but couldn't say
If she could just see
The part of me that I hid away(oh yeah)
If I could just hold her in my arms again
And just say, "I love you"
But she's gone away, 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
Pure and true right from the start(oh yeah)
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
And how, how did I let her get away
'Cause love, love is so easy to feel
But the hardest thing to say(say say say)
If she could just see
What I see when I close my eyes(close my eyes)
All that I dream(dream)
Surely she would realize(ohh)
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 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(say it baby)
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
la la la la la la la
If she only knew
la la la la la la la
maybe she stayed but she ran away
why she had to go away cause of what I didnt say
dont know what to do oh god i wish that she knew
la la la la la la la
