If You Only Knew

If I could see the future I'd keep it to myself. I'd hold on to every memory of you. I'd be the man that held the secrets everyone would like to know Call it wrong, but that's just that I'd do You could call me selfish and take my name in vain. But if you only knew what was coming is the truth I think you'd agree. We'd never be the same. You're like the flowers in the Spring that show beauty when they bloom. They open up but then they slowly fade. But if only for that moment, you held every eye. Center stage on everyone's ballet. You could call me selfish and take my name in vain. But if you only knew what was coming is the truth I think you'd agree. We'd never be the same. I will be your shelter when the wolves are at the door. I'd send them all away and with them all the pain. Your lonely heart won't feel desperate anymore. If I could see the future I wouldn't tell a soul. I'd lock it up and throw away the key. You could call me selfish and take my name in vain. But if you only knew what was coming is the truth I think you'd agree. We'd never be the same.
