If You Only Knew Lyrics

I tell myself I am seeing 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 it 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
