Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look where we are falling apart,
And nothing seems to mend,
This state of you, this state of me, mmh
Who do you think you're fooling now?
I guess we never find it out.
If only you, if only you, could see that I?m burning,
If only you, would know how I?m hurting
All for you, if only you
I guess it's alright I keep my head high,
You never see me cry,
Confused over you, bad by me, yeah
Who do you think you're fooling now?
I guess we never find it out.
Who do you think you're fooling now, now?
If only you, if only you,
Could see that I?m burning (burning, baby) if only you,
Would know how I?m hurting, all for you, If only you
If only you, would know me better,
If only you would listen better,
If only you would see me better,
If only you would hear me better,
Set me free, before you press delete
If only you, could see that I?m burning,
If only you would know how I?m hurting, all for you.
If only you-you-you
(Baby if only you), if only you
