If You Only Knew Lyrics

I honestly don't see how this song could be based off of anything other than a breakup. Those of you insisting it's about his son should seriously take a look at the lyrics. Half of the depictions in this song are completely unlike a parent-child relationship.

She left. He was heart broken. He wants her to KNOW how much he actually cared about her and how much he still DOES care about her. If she only knew how much he loved her, how painful it was to have her gone, than maybe she'd change her mind.

That's what the song's about.

Watch this and then go ahead and punch yourself in the face.

Then punch yourself in the face one more time.

@Rstegs I personally agree with Rstegs despite what the actual meaning of this song is. My interpretation to it matches Rstegs. When my girlfriend broke up with me I connected with this song and that caused this interpretation.
