if i only knew

i wish i knew a better way to tell you that i loved you

if i could, i swear i would

i would elaborate about the great day

that we met, was it chance, was it fate?

my eyes triggered a reaction into my brain

and i knew from that moment my life wouldn't be the same

i don't believe in love at first sight, but i believe in this

seasons of abyss, you helped me clear the mist

life's been rough, and s**t's been tough

but we've been through enough, i need you too much

abandoned the phantom lifestyle of before

kicked the old habits and rabbits out the door

if i was a better lyricist, i wouldnt have any fear when i send you this

i would pen eloquently about your beauty

how it radiates from your soul, it's what makes me whole

your eyes are a diamond prize in my cracker jack box

and you look so goddamn cute in your pink penguin socks

you made a hero out of this villain, guts spilling

maybe one day we'll get stuck with grandchildren

i wanna take you far away from all this pain

come confide in me, a place where you can stay

you are such a free spirit, with a clear vision

and it became clear to me that you are what my life is missin'

if i only knew

a better way

to tell you

i love you

instead of failing again

maybe then

we'd become

more than friends

but i ain't given up, no

i ain't given up
