If I Only Knew

I see you laughing in the corner of the room Like the sun breaks through my ever-clouded gloom I wish I had the words to make you see What your smile has slowly done to me But I stay silent, just a friend Afraid to break what we pretend You don't know I'm falling in love with you And if I knew you were falling in love with me too Maybe I’d take the chance, maybe I'd find the nerve But hearts like mine never get what they deserve We talk for hours, but still I hide The trembling truth I keep inside Each "goodnight" is another missed sign Another moment I wish you'd be mine I write your name in every line Of songs I’ll never let you find You don't know I'm falling in love with you And if I knew you were falling in love with me too Maybe I'd say the words, maybe I'd cross that line But timing's cruel and love ain't always kind Maybe one day you’ll hear this song And wonder if it’s you all along If the melody feels like déjà vu It’s ‘cause my heart’s been singing you You don’t know I’m falling in love with you And I’ll never know if you’re falling in love with me too So I’ll keep this dream where no one gets hurt Loving you quietly, without a single word
