When everything seems desperate, and you are feeling overwhelmed, if you have someone who understands it makes it much better.
This is about thanking that special someone who understands you completely and you can share your problems with. But, even with your greatest thanks, you realize they will...
[Verse 1]
I can lift you with my heart
Give you meaning every day
Cannot live without your truth
And be the true me
To be the true you
[Verse 2]
Pick the flowers from your floor
Put them in your arms for you, my love
Realise my life and more
[Pre-Chorus]
Say you will and then
Take me home
Make me clear
It feels so much better
Take me home
To this heart of hearts
[Chorus]
If only you knew
You caught me when I was falling
Yes you caught me when I was falling fast
And only you knew (Only you knew)
You answered me when I was calling you (You answered me when I was calling)
You saw me when I was dreaming you (If only you, you knew)
Into my life
[Verse 3]
Everyone who looks at you
Sees the loving in your every move
You're the healing of the soul
To be the true you
To be the true me
[Verse 4]
I will be your strength all time
Ever wishing you this love and more
Forever be your guiding song
[Pre-Chorus]
Say you will and then
Take me home
Make me clear
To feel so much better
In this life
In your heart of hearts
[Chorus]
If only you knew (Only you knew)
How you caught me when I was falling
Yes you caught me when I was falling fast
And only you knew (Only you knew)
You answered me when I was calling you (You answered me when I was calling)
You saw me when I was dreaming you (If only you, you knew)
Into my life
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
When I feel the hurt in so many peoples' lives
I take a deep breath and think of your smile, your eyes
When I hear the sadness of this earthtime
Then I take a deep breath and know that you understand
That you understand
[Chorus]
And only you knew (Only you knew)
How you caught me when I was falling fast
Caught me when I was falling fast
If only you knew (Only you knew)
How you answered me when I was calling you (You answered me when I was calling)
You saw me when I was dreaming you (If only you, you knew)
If only you knew
Yes you caught me when I was falling fast
You caught me when I was falling
Into your life
