98 Degrees - If She Only Knew

If she only knew
What I knew but couldn't say
If she could just see
The part of me that I hid away
If I could just hold her in my arms again
And just say, "I love you"
But she's gone away, maybe she'd stay
If she only knew

If she could just feel
What I feel here in my heart
She'd know it was real
Pure and true right from the start
But I'm just a man who didn't understand
What she was going through
But she's gone away, maybe she'd stay
If she only knew

And how, how did I let her get away?
'Cause love, love is so easy to feel
But the hardest thing to say

If she could just see
What I see when I close my eyes
All that I dream
Surely she would realize
But like a fool I waited much too long
To let her know the truth
She's gone away, maybe she'd stay
If she only knew Tell me, tell me how
How did I let her get away?
Cause I guess that love, love is so easy to feel
But the hardest thing to say

If she only knew
What I knew but could not say
If she could just see
The part of me that I hid away
If I could just hold her in my arms again
And just say, "I love you"
But she's gone away, maybe she'd stay
If she only knew

If she only knew
If she only knew

Maybe she'd stay but she ran away
Why she had to go away ?
'Cause of what I didn't say?
Don't know what to do
Oh God, how I wish that she knew
