If You Knew How I Felt

by Jeanine Canaris

Jeanine Canaris

If you knew how i felt
would you feel it too
...if you knew how i felt...
what would you do?

would you sail across the longest ocean
or swim across the largest sea
just to be together
just to break free.

If you knew how i felt
would things be the same
I know in the past
I played the runaway game

I'd promise you
that i would never stray
if i could only hear the words
i'm waiting for you to say

I know it's been awhile
and time can only tell
but without you
i'm living my own hell

I remember something that you once said
for the right person, you'd go local
the only problem was I wasn't vocal

I didn't say
everything that i should
i didn't follow my heart
now i only wish
that we hadn't part

that we hadn't went our separate ways
that i hadn't run
because without you
I'm the lonely one
