If You Only Knew

Now wait a minute, long lost friend

Everything comes around, here we go again

Ain't it a pity, ain't that a shame

You're gone without a trace, face without a name

Oh no, not you

I don't, you do

Good God, who knows?

And so it goes

Same old story, don't you worry

If you only knew

If you only knew

Maybe you'd feel the way I do

If you only knew

Right down the middle, dog on a chain

The water from the well circling the drain

Hand on the trigger, I'm holding fire

The passing of the flame, burning up inside

Hold on, I know

It comes, it goes

Same old story, don't be sorry

If you only knew (If you only knew)

If you only knew (If you only knew)

Maybe you'd feel the way I do

If you only knew

I need somebody to take my hand

But really, what can you do?

Lead me somewhere I can lay to rest

If you only knew

If you only knew (If you only knew)

If you only knew (If you only knew)

Maybe you'd feel the way I do

If you only knew

Maybe you'd feel the way I do

If you only knew
