If he only knew

If he only knew
What I knew but couldn't say
If he 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 he's gone, maybe he'd stay
If he only knew

If he could just feel
What I feel here in my heart
he'd know it was real
Pure and true right from the start
But I'm just a girl who didn't understand
What he was going through
But he's gone away, maybe he'd stay
If he only knew

And how, how did I let him get away
'Cause love, love is easy to feel
But the hardest thing to say

If he could just see
What I see when I close my eyes
All that I dream
Surely he would realize
But like a fool I waited much too long
To let him know the truth
he's gone away, maybe he'd stay
If he only knew

(Bridge)

Tell me, tell me how
How did I let him get away (Tell me)
'Cause I guess that love
Love is so easy to feel
But the hardest thing to say

Is he only knew
What I knew but could not say
If he could just see
The part of me that I hid away
If I could just hold him in my arms again
And just say I love you
he's gone away, maybe he'd stay
If he only knew, if he only knew,
