if she only knew
the gift I gave
the damage done
the trust betrayed

the child inside
wants to believe
in someone who
will not deceive

but all I've known are liars and deceivers
posing as the righteous and believers
and friends who offer more than they can give
ideals that are betrayed by how they live

if he only knew
the gift I gave
the love I lost
the faith not saved

the child inside
wants to believe
in something that
will not deceive

but all I've known is greed and corruption
posing as desire and seduction
things that can believed only through closed eyes
and rules that turn feeling into lies

all the love we hold back is wasted
nothing is delicious till it's tasted
the best intentions don't mean a thing
unless you follow through
in everything you do
it is not just a song we can sing

if they only knew
the gift we give
when we believe
the life we live

the child inside
who opens wide
and does not hide
the tears uncried

all I want is someone who will not betray my trust
someone upon who I can depend
completely open honesty in faith and love and lust
all I want is a true friend

all the love we hold back is wasted
nothing is delicious till it's tasted
the best intentions don't mean a thing
unless you follow through
in everything you do
it is not just a song we can sing

it's the life we live
it is all we give
the words are not true
unless it's what we do

if you only knew
if you only knew
