If You Could Feel This

I don't let it out
The way it lives inside me
I keep it quiet
Let it pass me by

Most of the time
I don't even try to say it
I just let it sit
Underneath my life

But with you
It felt different
Like I didn't have to hide
I'd give you everything

I've been holding back
Every part of me
I never let them have
If you could feel this

The way I do
If you could see it
Like I wanted you to
I wouldn't keep it

Underneath my skin
I'd let it out
I'd let you in
If you could feel this

The way I do
I would've given
All of it to you
I've learned to keep my distance

For no reason
Learned to live not being understood
But you got closer
Than I ever meant to

Like you almost saw
What no one ever could
I didn't pull away
I let it stay

I'd give you everything
I've been holding back
Every part of me
I never let them have

If you could feel this
The way I do
If you could see it
Like I wanted you to

I wouldn't keep it
Underneath my skin
I'd let it out
I'd let you in

If you could feel this
The way I do
I would've given
All of it to you

I don't open up like that for anyone
But you got closer
Than I've ever let someone
If you could feel this
