If you only knew the tears I've shed,
The silent cries and the numerous words unsaid.
If you only knew the burning ache inside,
The shattered pieces I try to hide.
If you only knew..........
If you only knew the dreams I've lost,
The bridges burned, the boundaries uncrossed.
If you only knew the fears I had to face,
The loneliness in this empty space.
If you only knew....
If you only knew the love I've yearned,
The flames extinguished, the lessons learned.
If you only knew the pain I bear,
The weight of burdens I cannot share.
If you only knew........
If you only knew the depths of sorrows,
The uncertainty of tomorrow, the endless sadness.
If you only knew the shattered view,
The broken heart, forever true.
If you only knew......
If you only knew the pieces I've strewn,
The shattered soul beneath the moon.
If you only knew the price I've paid,
The emptiness that won't fade away.
If you only knew.........
If you only knew the truth, my dear,
The silent screams, the hidden fear.
If you only knew the world I tread,
The heavy heart, the tears I shed.
If you only knew..........
