Lyrics

[Verse 1]
7 AM, thinking about you
Wondering if the thoughts I'm feeling
You're feeling too
Like a newborn child, soft to the touch
Baby is it possible
To love someone so much

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I may, I wish I might
Be that certain someone you wish for every night

[Chorus]
If you knew what I knew
You wouldn't say what you said (say what you said)
If you knew what I knew
We'd be together instead
Of you breaking my heart (breaking my heart)
Over things that aren't true
My lady yes (my lady, yes my lady)
If you knew what I knew

[Verse 2]
Time passes by, the only tears I cry
Are filled with disillusion of fears I have inside
Like a lost soul
I feel like I'm all alone (all alone)
If only I could feel your pain
Within your heart of stone

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I may, I wish I might
Be that certain someone you wish for every night

[Chorus]
If you knew what I knew
You wouldn't say what you said (say what you said)
If you knew what I knew
We'd be together instead
Of you breaking my heart (breaking my heart)
Over things that aren't true
My lady yes
If you knew what I knew

[Bridge]
Then you wouldn't have to go away
If you knew what I knew
Then you would be here to stay 
Right by side always

[Chorus]
If you knew what I knew
You wouldn't say what you said (say what you said)
If you knew what I knew
We'd be together instead
Of you breaking my heart (breaking my heart)
Over things that aren't true
My lady yes (my lady, yes my lady)

[Break]
If you knew what I knew my baby
You would never have said what you said
If you knew what I knew my baby
We would be together instead
If you knew what I knew my baby
You would never have said what you said
If you knew what I knew my baby
We would be together instead

Girl if you knew (say what you said)
If you only knew
Girl if you knew (loving you, oh-oh)
Girl if you knew (say what you said)
Girl if you knew (say what you said)
