[Verse 1]
If they only knew
How to keep you safe like I kept you
How to speak the words they've never used
I wish they only knew
If they only saw
The way my lips would shake when they met yours
The way your heart was met with open doors
I wish they only saw
[Chorus]
They've never ever had the strength
To feel the weight in what we meant
So leave, go home
Yeah leave, go home
[Verse 2]
If you only knew our love is just another shade of blue
He feels the same way that I do
I wish you only knew
If you only saw
His eyes light up like I adore
His smile on me then nothing more
I wish you only saw
[Chorus]
They've never ever had the strength
To feel the weight in what we meant
So leave, go home
Yeah leave, go home
[Post-Chorus]
If they only knew
If they only knew
If they only knew
I wish they only knew
If they only saw
If they only saw
If they only saw
I wish they only saw
[Outro]
If they only knew
If they only knew
If they only knew
I'd still be holding you
Alfie Arcuri released If They Only Knew on Tue Jul 11 2017.
