If You Only Knew

If you only knew how much I need you
Would you be giving up on me?
I’m invisible to you because you can’t see
My heart beats just like yours
If you only knew me, do you think that
You could love me?
I know you want to be loved
Why can’t I be enough?
Maybe you wouldn’t let me go
If I could get you to know
If you only knew me
Could you love me?
If you only knew I already love you
Just the way that you are
All I want is the chance to live, to breathe, to be me
My heart breaks just like yours
If you only knew me, do you think that
You could love me?
I know you want to be loved
Why can’t I be enough?
Maybe you wouldn’t let me go
If I could get you to know
If you only knew me
Could you love me?
Do you really want to miss the chance
To hold me in your arms?
Maybe you don’t know just what you have,
But you might miss me when I’m gone
If you only knew me, do you think that
You could love me?
I know you want to be loved
Why can’t I be enough?
Maybe you wouldn’t let me go
If I could get you to know
If you only knew me
Could you love me?
