Hi all,
I wrote this lyric about OCD a few years ago and thought I would share here.
If They Only Knew
Verse 1
My hands aren’t even dry
Before I wash them again
Change my clothes 14 times
Or else my best friend may die
Finally out the door
After checking just once more
Verse 2
With tears filling my eyes
I try so hard to explain
But no one knows why
I can’t get on with my life
It’s always been this way
I have to do what you say
Chorus
If they only knew
The terrifying,
Paralyzing
Thoughts that come from you
If they only knew
The humiliating,
Isolating
Things you make me do
Oh, if they only knew
Bridge
You’re my monster within
I’m tired of living in doubt
People don’t understand
I can’t just push you out
Chorus
If they only knew
The terrifying,
Paralyzing
Thoughts that come from you
If they only knew
The humiliating,
Isolating
Things you make me do
Oh, if they only knew
Chorus
If they only knew
The terrifying,
Paralyzing
Thoughts that come from you
If they only knew
The humiliating,
Isolating
Things you make me do
Oh, if they only knew
If they only knew
