If They Only Knew

from Sweet Pursuit by Catherine Clarnette

lyrics

Told myself there’s trouble coming which changes with the wind
Tried to reach out for someone who’s not listening

And you’ll never see what you are to me
And what I’m to you
I’m calling you out, you’re letting me down
If they only knew

You can pretend, you can play
The name of the game
Change all the rules and forever I lose
Take me away
Go on, act like it’s a show
Have them all fooled
But it’s clear to me and you know that I see
I see right, right through you

I am held back in a place I’ve never been
No escaping, there’s a storm out, it’s troubling

Say what you want but not what you mean
Pretend it’s true
‘Cause you’ll never see what you are to me
And what I’m to you

You can pretend, you can play
The name of the game
Change all the rules and forever I lose
Take me away
Go on, act like it’s a show
Have them all fooled
But it’s clear to me and you know that I see
I see right, right through you

Every day is the same situation
Save all your excuses
Don’t try to convince me otherwise
Tell yourself you can change, but in truth
You don’t have what it takes to do this
Before you open your mouth
I’ve heard every lie

You can pretend, you can play
The name of the game
Change all the rules and forever I lose
Take me away
Go on, act like it’s a show
Have them all fooled
But it’s clear to me and you know that I see
I see right, right through you
