If Only I Had Known
If only I had known
If only I had been there
You would still be here
How could you not know
Didn't you see me crying
Didn't you see the war
The war for my soul
Raging behind my eyes
As the assaults continued
Allies were lost
So many traitors in my heart
But I did know didn't I
Turning a blind eye to your pain
Too much trouble
I so many more important things
I put you out of my mind
So self righteous
So much better
If only you had seen me
You passed me Burns's a stranger
I fought so many battles all alone
I was so tired the war lost
Now you see my soul
Through the shattered windows
If only you had known
