Only If I Knew lyrics

If only you could live my life
If only I could get inside your head and she'd some light
If only I could show you what you never understood
If only I could answer all your questions then I would

Time - it can work for you or against you
It has hands that can make or destroy a man
It's simple. It can really test an individuals patience
It stops when you least expect
But without time, we'd all be ageless
Love - that's what you have when it's real
It causes pain and plays games
It can change how you feel about people who surround you
It can be true - it can be phoney
Love is blind, but without it you're left lonely

CHORUS
If only you could live my life
If only I could get inside your head and she'd some light
If only I could show you what you never understood
If only I could answer all your questions then I would
If only you could see just how I really live my life
If only I could get inside your head and she'd some light
If only I could show you what you never understood
If only I could answer all your questions then I would
But only if i knew

Hate - it's what builds up inside you
It cries for you, it dies for you
Sometimes it even lies to you
It spreads and causes blood shed
Many men it's mislead, many men are left dead
It's that bad voice in your head
Jealousy is what troubles me
It's that combination of love and hate
It seems so easy but it's so hard to escape
Its shape, you've felt it before
Jealousy's the reason we're not together anymore
Music - so many people abuse it, makes them dilute it
Pollute it with trash, music is dying fast
It's all about cash, it's a lost art
Musicians with no heart
I look around and see this hole industry's falling apart
Hip hop - it seems like everybody's rappin'
I'm sick of your pointless lyrics, I'm sick of your gun clappin'
What happened to this music that I used to feel?
It seems like they substituted quality for the mass appeal
Rock & Roll - It's just another good example
Of an artform that I watch commercialized bands trample
Nowadays I only like a handful - that makes me sick
Since when did Alanis Morissette replace an AC/DC hit
Project Wyze - the anticipated - the long awaited debut
For 12 years we stayed true and never fell apart
You see we mastered this art
We're just a second man band with warm hearts

CHORUS
