Tonic - If You Could Only See Lyrics

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do

If you could only see how blue
Her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Well you got your reasons
And you got your lies
And you got your manipulations
They cut me down to size

Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do

If you could only see how blue
Her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Seems the road less traveled
Shows happiness unraveled
And you got to take a little dirt
To keep what you love
That's what you gotta do

Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
You're stretching out your arms
To something that's just not there

Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do

If you could only see how blue
Her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do

If you could only see how blue
Her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

  Noone seems to know this, and it surprises the me a lot, but once you know the meaning of this song, it makes it 1000 times better.
  
  The lead singer wrote this song to his mother. At the time he wrote the song, he hadn't spoken to her in years, all because she disapproved of his marriage to his wife. Tonic was on a radio talk show in Sacramento years ago, I can't remember how long, but I remember the interview, and at the time, he told the jockey that he hadn't spoken to his mother after he married his wife (still married) and that the song was dedicated to his mother to explain to her why he chose his wife. Wow! But thats not the most touching part....the most profound part and impactful, was what he said right before the jockey played his song "If you could only see"....he said,
  
  "If I had a second chance, I'd marry her all over again".
