What I knew but couldn't say
The part of me that I hid away
If I could just hold her in my arms again
But she's gone away, maybe she'd stay
What I feel here in my heart
Pure and true right from the start
But I'm just a man who didn't understand
What she was going through
But she's gone away, maybe she'd stay
And how, how did I let her get away
Cause love, love is so easy to feel
But the hardest thing to say
If she could just see (see)
What I see when I close my eyes (close my eyes)
But like a fool I waited much too long
To let her know the truth
She's gone away, maybe she'd stay
How, how did I let her get away (tell me)
But the hardest thing to say
What I knew but could not say
The part of me that I hid away
If I could just hold her in my arms again
And just say I love you, I love you
She's gone away, maybe she'd stay
If she only knew, if she only knew
Maybe she'd stay but she ran away
Cause of what I didn't say
Oh God how I wish that she knew
