Let me play with a vengeance, and I'll love you tomorrow
Let me hold on to the bottle, and I'll quit it just today
Cuz if you only, only knew... how much I really wanna love you
Cuz if you only, only knew... how much I really wanna care
And there's another one that's leaving, and there's another one in line
You know they all end up leaving, it's just a matter of time
And if you only, only knew... just how hard I've tried
And if you only, only knew... how many nights I've cried
It's another restless night, and I'm staring at my phone
I can't take it off the hook, cuz it'll prove that I'm all alone
And if you only, only knew... oh, I tried to kill this pain
And if you only, only knew... how I tried in vain
Another show tomorrow, another place to go...
Another place to go...
Let the priest go down in shame, let the good men all get blamed
Let the children cry in pain, let the whiskey through my veins
Cuz if you only, only knew... all the things I've seen
And if you only, only knew... all the players on the team
If I fall down tomorrow, if I try and run away
Don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go...
