If You Only Knew Lyrics

If you only knew
I'm hanging by a thread
The web I spin for you
If you only knew
I'd sacrifice my beating
Heart before I'd lose you
I still hold onto the letters
You returned
I swear I've lived and learned

[Chorus]
It's 4:03...

    I believe this is a song about a breakup. He is so strung out over this girl that he just can't seem to let go, so he is telling her that he still loves her and that he would do anything. He holds onto every piece of her, including her letters, and he has lived and learned that love is so painful. This is a beautiful song that I think many who have gone through a bad breakup. I love this song and I love ShInEdOwN!! thanks for reading
