If you knew

Lyrics

**Verse 1** Every morning, I get up, Already tired before the day. I go to work and do my best, But the pressure won’t go away. So many problems on my mind, So many answers I can’t find. I know the life I want someday, But right now, I’ve lost my way. **Pre-Chorus** At night, I lie awake alone, My mind keeps going on and on. I keep on thinking till morning comes, While fear beats loud like distant drums. **Chorus** If you knew how much I love you, You would never doubt my heart. You are the best thing in my life, And the thought of losing you tears me apart. Please don’t think my love has died, Just because I keep it all inside. I am not walking out on you, I’m just fighting to make it through. There is no word strong enough, No song could ever tell the truth. If you knew how much I love you, You would see my whole heart belongs to you. **Verse 2** Every new day takes all my strength, More than I know how to give. When I come home, I close my eyes, Too tired to talk, too tired to live. I fall asleep there on the couch, While you are waiting next to me. I know that I am letting you down, And I hate the man you sometimes see. I want to make you happy. I want to be a better man. But I am lost inside myself, And I don’t know where to begin. **Pre-Chorus** I see the sadness in your eyes, And it breaks something inside. You think that I don’t love you now, But you don’t know how hard I’ve tried. **Chorus** If you knew how much I love you, You would never doubt my heart. You are the best thing in my life, And the thought of losing you tears me apart. Please don’t think my love has died, Just because I keep it all inside. I am not walking out on you, I’m just fighting to make it through. There is no word strong enough, No song could ever tell the truth. If you knew how much I love you, You would see my whole heart belongs to you. **Verse 3** I started shutting down inside, And kept my pain where it could hide. I thought that I could keep you safe, But only pushed your heart away. But every wall I built for you Has only pushed you far away. I tried to keep you from the storm, But now I’m losing you this way. You say, “Please talk and let me in.” I try to speak, but can’t begin. How can I tell you what’s inside, When I don’t know why I still hide? **Bridge** You are not the reason I am broken. You are the reason I still fight. You are the light inside my darkness, The one who leads me back to life. I would give you everything I have. I would carry every pain for you. The word “love” feels much too small For everything I feel for you. You are more than just my future. You are more than just my home. You are the strongest part of me, Even when I feel alone. I know that I have let you down. I know my silence caused you pain. But behind all of my silence, I’m fighting to find myself again. **Final Chorus** If you knew how much I love you, You would never doubt my heart. Even when I cannot show it, My love for you has never stopped. Please don’t mistake my silence For a heart that doesn’t care. Behind the walls, behind the fear, My love for you is always there. I don’t promise to be perfect. I don’t know how long this road will be. But I’ll fight to find my strength again And be the man you deserve me to be. There is no word strong enough, No song could ever tell the truth. You are the best thing that has happened to me. And my whole heart belongs to you. **Outro** So when I cannot find the words, And when I turn away in fear, Please know I am not leaving you. I am still fighting to stay here. I am tired, I am scared, And I don’t know what to do. But beneath all of this darkness, There is one thing that stays true: I love you. I still choose you. And I hope you still choose me too.
