If I Only Knew
Unlocking Love's Puzzle: If I Only Knew by Tommy Alexander
Lyrics
If I only knew
Understanding the concept of love and its complexities
how to love someone
Expressing a desire to know how to genuinely love another person
I'd stop tearing myself apart
Acknowledging self-destructive behavior and a wish to cease it
Stop tearing myself apart
Reiteration of the desire to stop self-destructive tendencies
if you only knew
Addressing someone else's lack of understanding in maintaining a relationship
how to keep it clean
Encouraging the other person to maintain purity or honesty in the relationship
how to keep it clean
Repeating the need for the other person to keep the relationship genuine
you'd stop
Highlighting the importance of the other person stopping self-destructive behavior
tearing yourself apart
Reiteration of the desire for the other person to cease self-destructive tendencies
stop tearing yourself apart
Repeating the plea for the other person to stop harming themselves
time on the road is time in my mind
Reflecting on the impact of time spent on the road on one's thoughts
It's time i can live without
Expressing a willingness to live without the time spent on the road
light overshadows the night in the sky
Metaphorically describing light overshadowing the darkness in one's life
I'm back at the beginning again
Feeling a sense of returning to the starting point or facing a new beginning
If I only knew
Repeating the desire to understand how to love someone
how to love someone
Reiteration of the intention to stop self-destructive behavior through love
I'd stop tearing myself apart
Repeating the plea to cease self-destructive tendencies through love
stop tearing myself apart
Reiteration of the desire to stop tearing oneself apart through love
and I'd love someone
Adding the commitment to love someone if the knowledge is gained
If I only knew
Repeating the idea of lacking knowledge in how to love someone
If I only knew
Reiteration of the longing for understanding how to love
