If Only You Knew

Broken Heart

Up all night, wandering my mind; my heart is lost again

Intertwined, in love, in pain, my heart just won’t mend

Issues of you inside of my head carried from so far away

At night as I lie in bed, you haunt me, into the break of day

Slept off so much, or so I thought, but only pushed you more

Into the nerves that bind my brain, where memories of you are stored

Forced a smile upon my face, but seeing you only hurts

Because for you, my heart is still, but yours just won’t convert

I don’t know who you smile for, but lately it’s not me

But looking at it, when it’s not mine, is just too hard to see

You’ve become cold to my presence, and I’m sure I’m to blame

You once said you loved me, but now nothing’s the same

I didn’t play with the word, it was ever so true

When I said those three words; when I said “I love you“

Tonight, stirring in my head are memories of sweet bliss

That first night we met, and the taste of your kiss

The look in your eyes as you whispered to me

“I think you’re the one” and that’s what I believed

Your voice on the phone the first time you called

My heart fluttered anxiously, I, too, was enthralled!

And then that first day our true colors showed

You put your guard up, your heart turned ice-cold

And mine went up, too, but you pulled it back down

When you looked in my eyes and my heart quickly drowned

Though, you’re far away, and we don’t speak very much

I’m still amazed and in love with the lack of your touch

My heart is corrupted; my smile is gone, forced only for you

Cuz I’ve lost what I thought I had, if only you knew!
