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, 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
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

Bridge:

And how, how did I let her get away
'Cause love, love is 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

(Bridge)

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

Is she only knew
What I knew but could not 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
She's gone away, maybe she'd stay
If she only knew, if she only knew,
