If I Only Knew
For so long you were my best friend
You held me when I cried
You told me it would be okay
And wiped the tears from my eyes
I talked about the man I loved
And you talked about your girls
How was I to ever know
I was in a different part of your world?
My eyes so blind for someone else
I couldn't open them to you
And now you tell me how you feel
And I don't know what to do
It's crazy the way things work out
They say it's not meant to be
But why can't I get you out of my head?
And why could I never see?
I'm trying to make some sense of all this
But I just get even more confused
I'll never see you the same way again
I really never had a clue
You say you tried to tell me before
How you are so in love with me
But now it feels like it's too late
I'll never know what could be
Now I'm stuck so deep in the dark
That it's hard to see the light
What am I supposed to do now?
I question myself at night
I guess our chance has passed long ago
And we will never know the truth
I could never know what could have been
If there ever was a me and you
Years ago I would have smiled
And told you I felt the same
But now I'm in a different place
And in my heart is someone else's name
I should have opened my eyes to see it before
I should have kissed away your fears
And held you tight and say that I love you
And wipe away your tears
I should have known you loved me from the look in your eyes
I can see it as I think about it now
But there is no way to turn back time
There is no someway, somehow
If only things were different then
If only I fell in love with you
Maybe I could unbreak your heart
If I only knew
You held me when I cried
You told me it would be okay
And wiped the tears from my eyes
I talked about the man I loved
And you talked about your girls
How was I to ever know
I was in a different part of your world?
My eyes so blind for someone else
I couldn't open them to you
And now you tell me how you feel
And I don't know what to do
It's crazy the way things work out
They say it's not meant to be
But why can't I get you out of my head?
And why could I never see?
I'm trying to make some sense of all this
But I just get even more confused
I'll never see you the same way again
I really never had a clue
You say you tried to tell me before
How you are so in love with me
But now it feels like it's too late
I'll never know what could be
Now I'm stuck so deep in the dark
That it's hard to see the light

And we will never know the truth

If only I fell in love with you
Maybe I could unbreak your heart
If I only knew
