If You Knew What I Knew 
Written by: AJ McLean, Billy Chapin & Bryan Bennett
Recorded by: Backstreet Boys
 
7 AM, thinking 'bout you 
Wondering if the thoughts I'm feelin' you're feeling too 
Like a newborn child, soft to the touch 
Baby, is it possible to love someone so much 
I wish I may, I wish I might 
Be that certain someone you wish for every night 

CHORUS
If you knew what I knew 
You wouldn't say what you said 
If you knew what I knew 
We'd be together instead 
Of you breakin' my heart 
Over things that aren't true 
My lady, yes 
If you knew what I knew 

Time passes by, the only tears I cry 
Are filled with disillusion and fears I have inside 
Like a lost soul, I feel like I'm all alone 
If only I could feel your pain, within your heart of stone 
I wish I may, I wish I might 
Be that certain someone you wish for every night 
	   
CHORUS

BRIDGE
Then you wouldn't have to go away 
If you knew what I knew 
Then you would be here to stay 
Right by my side always 

CHORUS

BRIDGE
If you knew what I knew, my baby 
You would never have said what you said 
If you knew what I knew, my baby 
We would be together instead.
