If Only I Knew

I know him well
I've seen him hundred times before
Walk through that door
Of course, I know
He gets a coffee to go
But he won't see me at all
I know him well, but I
Wish I knew more about him
When he walks there alone
He's lost in thoughts
I can't see through his wall
But he won't notice
He won't see me at all
If only I knew how to get through to him
I watch him sadly, trying so madly to open his eyes for me
But time after time when I watch him go by,
His head in the clouds, I can't help it, I smile
The More that I want him, the deeper I fall
He doesn't see me at all
The days go by
He disappeared and I
Will take my time
And try to forget him
But then again
Thought I was over him
He stands there ordering breakfast and tea
What should I say?
If only I knew how to get through to him
I watch him sadly hoping that maybe he sees me the way I do
But time after time he's walking on by
I can't help it dying a little inside
The more that I want him the deeper I fall
He doesn't see me at all
I put my fears for once aside
I go to him just saying "Hi!"
Pretending to be strong but feeling small
And then he smiles and says to me
"I thought you'd never notice me at all ..."
If only I knew how to get through to you
I watched you sadly, hoping that maybe you'd see me the way I do
But time after time when I saw you in here
I felt so attracted I wanted you near
The more that I'd want you the deeper I'd fall
I thought you don't see me at all
If only I knew, If only I knew
The more that I'd want you the deeper I'd fall
I thought you don't see me at all
