If You Only Knew

I carry stories I can't tell
Locked away where shadows dwell
Behind my eyes a quiet storm
A hidden fire I keep warm

The mask I wear is paper thin
It hides the wars I've fought within
Every secret, every scar
Has shaped the person that we are

If you only knew the nights I've bled
The shadow dreams, the truths I've kept
If you only knew the weight I face
The endless battles I can't erase
Would you turn away or see me through
If you only knew If you only knew

I trace the cracks beneath my skin
Each one a tale of where I've been
The words I choked back every day
Are louder than the ones I say I wonder if you'd understand
If I reached out, would you take my hand?
Or would the weight I carry deep
Be far too heavy for you to keep?

Ponte If you only knew the nights I've fought
The silent wars that time forgot
If you only knew the truth I hide
The broken voice I keep inside
Would you walk away or see me through?
If you only knew If you only knew

Would it tear us down or pull us near?
If you saw the things I fear
The fragile pieces, raw and true
All the things I hide from you
If you only knew the sleepless nights
If you only knew the endless fights
Would you stay? Would you still believe?
Or would you leave?

Outro If you only knew the nights I've bled
The restless thoughts inside my head
If you only knew the storms I've faced
The scars that time cannot erase
Would you walk away or stay so true?
If you only knew If you only knew
