If They Only Knew (Stripped Back)

If they only knew

How to keep you safe like I kept you

How to speak the words they never used

I wish they only knew

If they only saw

The way my lips would shake when they met yours

The way a heart was met with open doors

I wish they only saw

They never ever had the strength

To feel the way in what we meant

So leave go home

Yeah leave go home

If you only knew

Love is just another shade of blue

You'd feel the same way that I do

I wish you only knew

If you only saw

These eyes light up that I adore

The smile I need and nothing more

I wish you only saw

They never ever had the strength

To feel the way in what we meant

So leave go home

Yeah leave go home

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 oh

If they only saw

I wish they only saw

If they only knew

If they only knew

If they only knew

I'd still be holding you
