If I Only Knew

If I only 
knew who 
I was hurtin 
when I thought 
I was hurting you

If I only knew
that my hate 
was only 
my lost

I was young stupid
and clueless
looking for 
a sign 

If I only
Knew If
I open my eyez 
I wouldn't 
had'had such 
a tough time

your time 
became my way 
of being 

If I only 
knew
how you felt about me
 
instead of wanting
you to show it
i wouldn't turn 
you corrupt 
i wouldn't be so stuck 
If I only knew
