If Only You Knew

You hide behind your coffee cup,

Talk small dreams like they’re not enough,

But when you laugh, the world slows down,

And I forget there’s anyone around.

You trace the rim, you lose your place,

Don’t know how bright you make this space,

You say you’re plain, but I can see,

The kind of beauty no one believes.

Every mirror tells you lies,

But I see stars inside your eyes,

You don’t have to change a thing tonight—

Just stay under this light.

If you only knew how perfect you already are,

You’d never wish upon another star,

You shine so softly, don’t even try,

You’re the calm in my heart, the reason why.

If you only knew what I see when I look at you,

Every flaw turns into something true,

You don’t need to chase the view,

You’re already the sky — if you only knew.

You cover scars with folded sleeves,

As if the proof of life’s not meant to be seen,

You don’t know how your silence speaks,

It’s louder than the songs I sing.

You talk about a better day,

But you’re the light that shows the way,

You think you’re lost — but baby, you’re found,

You’re the only truth in a world of sound.

Every mirror tells you lies,

But I see heaven in your eyes,

You don’t have to fight the tide—

You’re perfect when you try.

If you only knew how perfect you already are,

You’d never wish upon another star,

You shine so softly, don’t even try,

You’re the calm in my heart, the reason why.

If you only knew what I see when I look at you,

Every flaw turns into something true,

You don’t need to chase the view,

You’re already the sky — if you only knew.

Let the tears fall, let ‘em stay,

They paint the light in a softer way,

You don’t need gold to make me stay,

You’re worth more than words can say.

If you only knew how perfect you already are,

You’d never wish upon another star,

You shine so softly, just being you,

And I’ll keep falling, that’s what I’ll do.

If you only knew… oh, if you only knew…

You’re already the sky.
