"If You Only Knew" lyrics - FOO FIGHTERS

Now wait a minute, long lost friend
Everything comes around, here we go again
Ain't it a pity, ain't that a shame
You're gone without a trace, face without a name

[Pre-Chorus:]
Oh no, not you
I don't, you do
Good God, who knows?
And so, it goes
Same old story, don't you worry

[Chorus:]
If you only knew, if you only knew
Maybe you'd feel the way I do
If you only knew

Right down the middle, dog on a chain
The water from the well circling the drain
Hand on the trigger, I'm holding fire
The passing of the flame, burning up inside

[Pre-Chorus:]
Hold on, I know
It comes, it goes
Same old story, don't be sorry

[Chorus:]
If you only knew (If you only knew)
If you only knew (If you only knew)
Maybe you'd feel the way I do
If you only knew

[Bridge:]
I need somebody to take my hand
But really, what can you do?
Lead me somewhere I can lay to rest
If you only knew

[Instrumental]

[Chorus:]
If you only knew (If you only knew)
If you only knew (If you only knew)
Maybe you'd feel the way I do
If you only knew

[Outro:]
Maybe you'd feel the way I do
If you only knew
