If You Only Knew

I tell myself I am seein' ghosts

They're just projections of the things I need the most

'Cause when you say hello or smile at me

That's not a secret code, you're tryin to signal me

It's just a trick of my mind

What am I hoping to find

I need to stop this before one of us gets hurt

But when I'm lying awake

It feels like such mistake

A wasted day 'cause I didn't say a word

Oh no

Though I know that this isn't real

I cannot help but wonder what you'd feel

And though I know that this isn't true

I cannot help but wonder what you'd do

If you only knew

If you only knew

I tell myself I should wake and see

There's not the slightest chance you'd ever fall for me

I'm holding on to this fantasy

A play that's staged within

My dreams and reveries

It's just a trick of my mind

Desire's turning me blind

Shows me a side of you that simply isn't there

And when I'm lying in bed

My head, filled with regrets

A train of thoughts on a track that leads nowhere

Nowhere

Though I know that this isn't real

I cannot help but wonder what you'd feel

And though I know that it isn't true

I cannot help but wonder what you'd do

If you only knew

If you only knew

If you only knew

If you only knew the way your laugh

Shines like a blade

But cuts me in half

If you only knew the way your smile

Haunts me

Though I know that this isn't real

I cannot help but wonder what you'd feel

And though I know that it isn't true

I cannot help but wonder what you'd do

If you only knew

If you only knew

If you only knew
