Lyrics
I see you laugh across the room
it fills my heart I cant consume
And every word you say I keep
Like secrets that I never speak
I walk beside you every day
But still you're miles and miles away
I smile and act like it's okay
But deep inside I ache and pray
If only you knew how I adore you
How every breath I take is for you
But I'm just a face in the crowd
A silent heart I'm not allowed
To say the words I long to say
You'd turn and smile then walk away
If only you knew
But you don't
You call me friend and that's enough
You never see how hard it's tough
To hold my tongue and play the role
While love keeps burning through my soul
You speak of him with sparkling eyes
And I just nod and swallow sighs
You'll never know you'll never see
The way you mean the world to me
If only you knew how I adore you
How every breath I take is for you
But I'm just a shadow you pass
A passing thought that doesn't last
You chase the dreams you're meant to chase
While I remain in this same place
If only you knew
But you don't
Maybe in some other time
You'd look and see this heart of mine
But this is not that time or place
So I will love you with grace
If only you knew the life I've painted
With every hope that's gone unstated
But you just see what I let show
You'll never ask you'll never know
I'll keep the truth behind my eyes
And say goodbye without goodbyes
If only you knew
But you don't
