If

If you could see my heart

If you could read my mind

If I could speak the words

That are so hard to find

If I could tell you once

If you could understand

Just look into these eyes

Just let me take your hand

It shouldn't be so hard

I shouldn't care this much

But you can ease my soul

With just the slightest touch

If I could take a chance

Throw caution to the wind

If I could have one dance

With you, my dearest friend

If I could bare this heart

And set aside these fears

And step out from this darkness

Where I hid for years

If there was just some way

If there was just a clue

I might know what to say

I might know what to do

Instead I'm here alone

A place I know too well

Waiting to figure out

What only time will tell
