Rebekah Parrish - If You

If you only knew
The tears I've cried
How hard I've tried
To make it up to you

If you only knew
The words I'd say
To make you stay
How much I truly loved you

If you only knew
The fear I fought
With every thought
Of ever losing you

If you only knew
The days I spend
Willing my heart to mend
To fake joy in front of you

If you only knew
How I fell on my knees
Asking God to 'Please! '
Numb the pain of missing you

If you only knew
How long its been
I want to smile again
The only way is to remember you

If you could only see
Just what you've done to me
How we are supposed to be
With you I can be free

If you could only see
How beautiful you are
The past isn't too far
Please just be with me

If you could only see
What I would sacrifice
I'd willingly pay the price
For one more day of you and me

If you could only see
How your touch electrifies
A new glow reaches my eyes
And I'd never need to flee

If you could only see
My hand belongs in yours
You've opened up locked doors
And you have set me free

If you could only see
How perfect life could be
Without you there is no me
We match perfectly

If you only knew
If you could only see
