Only If You Knew

Only if you knew, I just broke my tooth
Only if you knew, the shoes I walked in been through
Only if you knew, how sad I felt
Only if you knew, how bad I wish to be someone else
Only if you knew how far torn up I am inside
I wouldn't stand here quiet or bite down on my pride
Only if you knew how far gone I am,
Only if you knew how quick it is for my soul to scram
Only if you knew the hurt
I'll be scared to tell you, cause it may hurt you worse
Only if you knew how much it took for me to stand today
I'm sure you already know, that it was nothing but God's grace.
