If Only You Knew

I can't seem to find the right words to say
To tell you that I feel this way.
I want you. What can I do
To make you want me next to you?

If you look at me, you'll understand,
All I want is to hold your hand.
I've felt this way for, oh, so long,
And it hurts me that I don't belong...

Wanting you to want me, it's all a dream,
My heart aches, I just want to scream.
I smile and laugh just thinking of you,
Together here, I wish it was true.

I always imagine your gentle touch,
If you only knew I felt this much...
Not being with you, I'm falling apart,
'Cause I don't know how to get to your heart.

If only you could see the love in my eyes,
And all those nights I sat and cried...
How long the wait, I do not know...
But when the day comes, I'll let it show.

If only you knew my feelings for you,
I'll stay hopeful that you'll feel the same way, too.
