If only I could tell you.

If only I could trust you.

If only.

If only.



If only I knew you would understand.

If only I knew it wouldn't be a big deal.

If only.

If only.



Then I could be myself,

The person on the inside.

The man I wish you could all see.



It’s gripping my heart,

Holding on for life.

The need to tell you,

For everyone to know,

To have to not hide it,

Myself...



If only I knew you well.

If only I knew you wouldn't tell everyone but them.

Everyone.

If only.

If only.



Then maybe,

Just maybe.

Then the pain in my chest would go away.

I would be able to breath,

And just maybe,

Be myself,

For everyone,

Instead of just you two...
