If You Only Knew

If You Only Knew

 

"If You Only Knew"

Some people might
Have you believing
You're
Hearing lies
You're right
I don't know why

I never knew
What you wanted to do
But,
Keep in mind
This time
You know I tried

All that time
Was never mine
You know it's true
It's true
Because of you

"I Don't Really Care"

I don't really care how famous you might have been
I don't even want to know your name

Dreams that were sweet go sour
You ought to know by now

I don't want to hear what's on your mind
I already saw it on TV

Inflatable conversation
Doesn't mean that much to me
Can't you see
Can't you see

Don't try so hard to see what goes on inside
I'll pin my heart on my sleeve

When I'm with you there's nothing
That could mean that much to me
Can't you see
Can't you see

"In The Light"

By the way,
I would leave you alone if you wanted
Had you known,
Would you do the same

Don't be surprised if it shows in the light
And if it does, don't fight

I'd have saved,
Everything you gave me forever
Had you known,
Would you do the same

And if you find that your left all alone
You might believe what it was you were told
Don't be surprised if it shows in the light
And if it does, don't fight

"I've Enjoyed As Much Of This As I Can Stand"

You let go for so little
What a waste
What a waste
My head hangs there for a reason
What a waste of time

What a way to go down

If I'd known it'd be so easy
I'd have stayed
Unchanged
I won't go unless you show me
There's a place to go

What a way to go down

"The Final Say"

I'm so tired but
I'm on fire
You can touch me
Why don't you try

Chorus:
And the final say will just
Be your own
And the chance you may is still
Unknown
It wouldn't make you happy
Just to let you know
It wouldn't make you happy

Deep desire
A funeral pyre
No one's watching
Why don't we try

Repeat Chorus and first verse

"When Your Gone"

Please say that you wanna
Please say that you wanna
Please don't say no
Then maybe when you're gone
I'll let you know
I'll let you know

She's late all along
She's late all alone
Please take what you want
Then maybe when you're gone
By then you'll know
By then you'll know

"Hound Dog"

Now that we're alone here
I'm left with you
I can't think of one thing
I said I would do

Don't worry
Nobody knows
I'll just stay here
If that's alright with you

They have us in the wrong time
The things we could do
I brought this on myself
And there's not a thing I can do

Nothing to do
I'll just stay here
If that's alright with you

"99"

I'll grant all your wishes
Smother you with kisses
But you still hide from the sun
One hundred minus ninety-nine is one

I never lie

Unfortunate baby
So sad you can't save me
And rescues are so much fun
But ambulance drivers don't wear guns

You can't deny
I never lie

"What I See"

I'm gonna use myself
It's happened all before
And in all these years
I've never known more
Than I see
Than I see

And if I lose my health
And I'm gone before
I never asked for more
Than a chance to have
What I see
What I see

"Nothing At All"

Do You
Do You
I would if I could
And I wish you would
You knew
You knew
It might do some good
And you know it could
Do you
Do you
It just can't be wrong
After it's been so long
It's nothing
It's nothing
It's nothing , It's nothing at all

Nothing
It's nothing
It's nothing, it's nothing at all

You
You
After all you know it's the same

"Esque"

Have I told you
Lately there's another
Place where I wait when you're late
Did I bleed doubt
When you finally arrived
If I did I'm sorry

Have you been around
Have you been around

And it only
Matters if you notice
Everything's changed around you
And it seems like
I'm partly to blame
If I am I'm sorry

Have you been around?

"Always Late"

I've seen this through before
Used to be so much more
Impatient audience
It's no surprise if I'm gone when it ends

Tell me the truth that's all
You passed out in the hall
Between your rooms and
You want me there to catch you when you fall

Always behind
Now it seems right
Never enough light
To see the signs
Read the lines

Tell me the truth that's all
Who's sleeping in the hall
Between your rooms and
You won't be there to catch me when I fall
