If You Knew
Inf you knew what I thought
You'd put me away to rot
In a quiete peaceful place
where you'd never have to see my face
You'd say it was my kingdom
'Cause you've always known I've wanted one
But I wouldn't find the peace you sought
For me-more or less bought
I would have nothing to do
But be bored and blame you
I would float even more away
You couldn't tie me down to make me stay
