If You Knew - JDKZero

social.tunecor...
Hey everyone, it’s JDKZero.
This song, "If You Knew," is one of the most personal tracks I’ve ever written. It’s about the fear of letting people in, of showing them the parts of yourself that are broken, and wondering if they’d still be there if they knew the whole truth. I’ve been in that place-afraid that if someone really saw what’s underneath, they’d walk away.
"If You Knew" came from a time when I felt like I had to hide the battles I was facing, unsure if anyone would stick around if they really understood the depth of what I was going through. It’s hard to open up when you’ve been hurt before, but I think it’s important to remind ourselves that even our darkest moments are worth sharing with those who care.
I hope this song speaks to anyone who feels like they have to hide their pain, their past, or their struggles. You’re not alone, and you’re worthy of love, no matter what you’ve been through.
Let me know in the comments if this song connects with you. I’d love to hear your story. I’m here to listen, just as I’m sharing mine with you.
Thank you for being here. Your support means everything to me-if "If You Knew" resonates with you, don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe. We’re all in this together.
Lyrics:
Verse 1
There’s a war inside my head I’ve been losing for years,
I hide the pieces of myself, drowning in my fears.
You see a smile, but you don’t see the scars,
I’m afraid if you knew, you’d run too far.
(You’d run too far)
Pre-Chorus
I’ve been down roads I can’t speak about,
With these hands, I’ve tried to shut the pain out.
If I showed you the truth, the dark I’ve survived,
Would you still stay, or leave me behind?
(Leave me behind)
Chorus
If you knew the damage underneath my skin,
The battles I’ve lost and where I’ve been.
Would you stay, or would you disappear?
I’m afraid you’d leave me, if you knew what’s here.
(If you knew what’s here)
The blood I’ve shed, the ghosts I fight,
Would you still love me through the endless night?
I keep it hidden, afraid to show,
I’m terrified you’ll leave if you really know.
(If you really know)
Verse 2
I used to hurt myself just to feel alive,
Running from the truth I couldn’t survive.
Each part of me that’s fractured, torn apart,
Is hidden deep inside this broken heart.
(This broken heart)
Pre-Chorus
I’ve worn so many faces, I can’t remember my own,
But you don’t know what’s hiding in the unknown.
If I let you see the scars in my mind,
Would you still be here, or would you leave me behind?
(Leave me behind)
Chorus
If you knew the damage underneath my skin,
The battles I’ve lost and where I’ve been.
Would you stay, or would you disappear?
I’m afraid you’d leave me, if you knew what’s here.
(If you knew what’s here)
The blood I’ve shed, the ghosts I fight,
Would you still love me through the endless night?
I keep it hidden, afraid to show,
I’m terrified you’ll leave if you really know.
(If you really know)
Bridge
I’ve bled to feel something real,
Numb to the pain I couldn’t conceal.
You see the surface, but underneath,
There’s a part of me I’ll never let you meet.
(Never let you meet)
Chorus
If you knew the damage underneath my skin,
The battles I’ve lost and where I’ve been.
Would you stay, or would you disappear?
I’m afraid you’d leave me, if you knew what’s here.
(If you knew what’s here)
The blood I’ve shed, the ghosts I fight,
Would you still love me through the endless night?
I keep it hidden, afraid to show,
I’m terrified you’ll leave if you really know.
(If you really know)
Outro
I can’t trust you with the truth I hide,
I’ve been abandoned too many times.
If you knew the pain I’ve been through,
I wonder… would you still love me too?
