**“IF YOU ONLY KNEW”**

**[Intro – Soft Female R&B]**

Mmm…

Baby…

There’s so much I don’t know how to say to you…

So just listen…

'Cause this is everything I’m too scared to say out loud.

**[Verse 1 – Soft & Vulnerable]**

I don’t think you know what you mean to me,

You’re more than just the man everybody sees.

You’re the one I call when my world falls apart,

The one who somehow knows the language of my heart.

I’ve had nights where I cried in silence,

Wondering if love was really meant to find me.

Then you came and held me differently,

Like my broken pieces weren’t too much for you to carry.

You saw the girl behind the smile,

The tears I tried to hide for a while.

You never asked me to be someone new,

You just loved the woman I was becoming with you.

**[Pre-Chorus]**

And maybe I don't say it enough,

Maybe sometimes I get scared of love.

But if you could see yourself through my eyes,

You'd understand why I choose you every time.

**[Chorus – Big Emotional R&B]**

If you only knew how much I love you,

You'd never question where my heart goes.

I'd give you every piece of me,

Even the parts that nobody knows.

If the whole world came against you,

I'd still be standing by your side.

Baby, I don't need a perfect love,

I just need you for the rest of mine.

And if forever is a promise we can't see,

Then I'll love you like forever starts tonight.

You don't have to wonder where I’ll be…

**I'll be right here.**

**[Verse 2 – Female R&B]**

I love the way you make me feel protected,

Even when I don't know what I'm feeling.

You can look into my eyes and somehow

Know exactly what my heart is concealing.

And I know we’re gonna have our moments,

There’ll be days when we don't get it right.

But I don't want somebody who walks away,

I want somebody who stays and fights.

So when I'm difficult, baby, hold me closer,

When I'm quiet, don't think I don't care.

Sometimes I just need to know you're beside me,

Sometimes I just need to know you're there.

**[Rap Verse – Female Melodic Rap / Emotional]**

Look…

I don't need the money, I don't need the fame,

I don't need the world knowing your name.

Give me late-night talks when we're both wide awake,

Your arms around me when my heart starts to shake.

I've been independent, I know how to stand alone,

But loving you made me realize I don't have to do it on my own.

You became my peace when my mind was at war,

And somehow you made me believe in love more.

I know I got a past, I know you got yours,

But I don't wanna keep score of the battles anymore.

I wanna build something that time can't break,

Something real enough that even heaven knows our names.

And if you ever feel like you're not enough,

Baby, listen when I tell you that you're more than enough.

I'd choose you on the days when you don't feel str
