IF YOU KNEW

MIDNIGHT WAITING ROOM THERE’S NOTHING I CAN DO
A HALF BURNED CIGARETTE IN TREMBLING HANDS
THESE EMPTY HALLWAYS OFFER NO HOPE
AND THERES NO WORDS NO COMFORT THAT I CAN GIVE
SO WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO ME WHAT WOULD YOU DO
IF YOU KNEW, IF FEW KNEW OUR LIVES WOULD CHANGE
MINUTES PASS LIKE HOURS BY NOW THEY KNOW I’M SORE
AND SOMEONE IN WHITE AND BLUE WON’T LET ME SEE MY SON
AND I DON’T KNOW IF I’LL LAST THROUGH THE NIGHT
BUT I’LL FIGHT THIS BATTLE UNTIL THE END
SO WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO ME WHAT WOULD YOU DO
IF YOU KNEW, IF FEW KNEW OUR LIVES WOULD CHANGE
AND I WANT TO SEE HIM, AND I WANT TO SEE HIM
SO WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO ME WHAT WOULD YOU DO
IF YOU KNEW, IF YOU KNEW OUR LIVES WOULD CHANGE
AND I WON’T GET IN THE WAY JUST MAKE SURE HE’S OKAY
‘CAUSE I NEED ONE MORE DAY THERE’S SO MUCH I HAVE TO SAY
I’M SORRY I WAS ANGRY I’LL TRADE ALL THE TEARS I HAVE INSIDE
AND I LOVE YOU AND I NEED YOU AND GOD KNOWS I’VE TRIED
I’M SORRY I WAS ANGRY I’LL TRADE ALL THE TEARS I HAVE INSIDE
AND I LOVE YOU AND I NEED YOU
JUST MAKE SURE HE’S OKAY, JUST MAKE SURE HE’S OKAY
