If You Only Knew

I hate to get so heavy 'Cause I know you like to keep it light You're the one who taught me how to joke Instead of start to cry You can feel it too That's why you don't look me in the eye And someone's gotta say it 'Cause I'm scared we're running out of time And all your regret is tearing you up You self deprecate, but I'm calling you're bluff I can't have you thinking that you weren't enough If you only knew The way I looked at you I thought you were Superman And damn it I still do I wish a song could show Enough to make you know Everything that's good in me Yeah, it came straight from you If you only knew Rough around the edges But you've always had a heart of gold You've been my biggest fan My steady hand since I was five years old Might not have been a castle But you've built a safe and loving home If you measure by what matters You're the richest man I've ever known Oh, if you only knew The way I looked at you I thought you were Superman And damn it I still do I wish a song could show Enough to make you know Everything that's good in me Yeah, it came straight from you If you only knew And hey just for the record I hang on every word you say You're the reason why I dream so big You're the one who makes me brave So while I've got you let me say If you only knew The way I look at you I thought you were Superman And damn it I still do I wish a song could show Enough to make you know Anything that's good in me Dad, it came straight from you If you only knew
