Shinedown - If You Only Knew Lyrics

If you only knew I'm hanging by a thread
The web I spin for you
If you only knew I'd sacrifice my beating heart
Before I lose you

I still hold onto the letters you returned
I swear I've lived and learned

Its 4:03 and I can't sleep without you next to me
I toss and turn like the sea
If I drown tonight bring me back to life
Breathe your breath in me

The only thing that I still believe in is you
If you only knew

If you only knew how many times I counted
All the words that went wrong
If you only knew how I refuse to let you go
Even when you're gone

I don't regret any days I spent
Nights we shared or letters that I sent

Its 4:03 and I can't sleep without you next to me
I toss and turn like the sea
If I drown tonight bring me back to life
Breathe your breath in me

The only thing that I still believe in is you
If you only knew, if you will only knew

I still hold onto the letters you returned
You helped me live and learn

Its 4:03 and I can't sleep without you next to me
I toss and turn like the sea
If I drown tonight bring me back to life
Breathe your breath in me

The only thing that I still believe in is you
Believe in is you, I still believe in you, oh
If you only knew
