Lyrics
And if you only knew
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And if you only knew, I could be good for you
You recognized in me, the spirit of your youth
And still you walked away from yourself
What a thing to do
How do you think I felt
And if you only knew, your room comes with a view
It's only a state of mind, seek and ye shall find
You still can't get over yourself,
You're outside looking in
Even with all of your wealth
And if you only knew, the love I have for you
We'd only just begun, before you said we're through
I tried to talk you down from the shelf,
But you jumped back again
My mama said I've still got my health
