if you only knew
what I am going through
you wouldn't want to cry
you'd let me die
if you only knew
if you believed it true
you would just look away
no words to say
if you only knew...
I was listening to a country station today
and a song came on that 'bout blew me away
a guy named Mark Wells sang it right on key
and he made me cry when he sang...
"don't laugh at me"...
and then Garth Brooks sang a slow one
and by the time the song was done
I was lost in the dreams I used to dream of
cuz I too would do anything...
"to make you feel my love"...
and then as I am writing this
another song I almost missed
it's about a girl I'm dreaming of
"she'd give anything to fall in love"...
why are I hearing hopeful songs
when everything in life's going wrong?
why am I feeling so much tonight
when all I have are these words I write?
I am a dreamer, I am a fool
I just got tired of playing it cool
I'll die anyway someday so I'll live
giving it everything I've got to give
and if it kills me before I find my love
I lived and died for what I dreamed of
if I die before my dream comes true
I know I did the best I can do
with a heart that is true
at least I wasn't cruel...
to a heart that's true...
if you only knew...
"Oh, I'm still wanting you, I've been hunting for you,
I'm still wanting you, I need to find you...
I'm just the same sad singer of the lonely songs
you long since left behind you"
