If You Only Knew

[Intro] Yeah… I don’t usually say how I feel, But you got me tryna be real this time. --- [Verse 1] Every day I see you in the hallway, You smile, and my heart goes the wrong way. Tryna act chill, but I can’t lie, You the reason I look forward to school time. Got my boys sayin’ “just go talk,” But I freeze every time I walk your block. You don’t even know what you do to me, You the only one I wanna see. --- [Pre-Chorus] I don’t wanna come off too strong, But girl, I’ve been feelin’ this for so long. You got that glow, that natural shine, And I can’t get you off my mind. --- [Chorus] If only you knew how I feel inside, I’d tell you everything I try to hide. I’m scared you’ll turn away, say “boy, not you,” But I swear no one sees you like I do. If only you knew what you mean to me, You’d understand why I can’t let it be. I’m tryna be brave, I’m tryna break through, Girl, I’m falling… if only you knew. --- [Verse 2] You laugh and the whole world fades, Even the teacher forgets my name. You’re the reason my heart beats fast, I pray this moment won’t be my last. I’ve seen you talk with your friends all day, And I wish I could find the words to say, That it’s not just a crush, it’s deeper than that, It’s love, and I can’t take it back. --- [Pre-Chorus] I don’t wanna mess up what we got, But I’m done just hiding on this spot. If rejection’s the price for truth, Then I’ll risk it all just to get to you. --- [Chorus] If only you knew how I feel inside, I’d tell you everything I try to hide. I’m scared you’ll turn away, say “boy, not you,” But I swear no one sees you like I do. If only you knew what you mean to me, You’d understand why I can’t let it be. I’m tryna be brave, I’m tryna break through, Girl, I’m falling… if only you knew. --- [Bridge] Maybe one day you’ll look my way, And see the truth I can’t convey. You deserve the best, that’s true, But I hope one day it could be you. --- [Outro] Yeah… I’m still scared, but I’ll take my chance, Even if it’s just one glance. ‘Cause I’d rather fall and be honest too, Than spend my life thinkin’ what if you knew. ---
