How I Feel
afewloosescrews Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If only I could tell you how much I care, would you listen?
If only I could tell you how much you mean to me, would you care?
If only I could tell you how much I think of you, would you believe me?
If only I could show you the way I feel, would you see?
I don't know why it's so hard for me to show you how I feel
I don't know why I can't tell you how much I care
I don't know why it's so hard for me to show you how I feel
I don't know why I can't share the joy I...

If you would listen, could I tell you that I care?
If you would care, could I show you how much you mean to me?
If you'd believe, could I could I tell you how much I think of you?
If you would see, could I show you the way I feel?

I don't know why it's so hard for me to show you how I feel
I don't know why I can't tell you how much I care
I don't know why it's so hard for me to show you how I feel
I don't know why I can't share the joy I...

I've got to - got to show you how I feel
I have to tell you how much I care




I've got to - got to show you how I feel
And I have to share the joy I have
