[Verse 1] I watch you laughing in the crowd You're shining but you don't know how Every glance you never see Is another reason you mean the world to me [Pre-Chorus] You talk like love’s just not your thing But girl, if you’d look closer in You’d see the truth behind these eyes I’ve loved you all this time [Chorus] If you only knew How many nights I stayed up thinking of you If you could feel The way my heart breaks when I see him near I’d tell you all the words I hide But I’m scared they’d ruin what feels right So I keep quiet, play it cool But I'd give it all — if you only knew [Verse 2] You call me your safe place, your friend But I’ve been falling since way back when And every “thank you” that you say Cuts a little deeper every day [Pre-Chorus] You talk about the one you need But baby, that’s always been me If I had just one chance to show I'd never let you go [Chorus] If you only knew How many nights I stayed up thinking of you If you could feel The way my heart breaks when I see him near I’d tell you all the words I hide But I’m scared they’d ruin what feels right So I keep quiet, play it cool But I'd give it all — if you only knew [Bridge] Maybe someday you’ll look my way See more than just the role I play Until then, I’ll be right here Wishing you were near [Final Chorus] If you only knew How many nights I stayed up dreaming of you If you could feel This love that time could never steal I’d tell you everything I feel No more secrets to conceal But 'til that moment breaks through I’ll just love you — if you only knew [Outro] If you only knew… If you only knew…
