If I Knew
Wednesday, August 9th, 2006If I knew
that kiss would be our last
I’d never let it end
If I knew
why you would give me up
I’d probably understand.
If I knew
somehow that you’d be gone
I’d steal just one more glance
If I knew
before, how much I’d lose
I’d never take our chance.
If I knew
that I would cause you pain
I would have set you free
If I knew
the damage I would bring
I’d keep you away from me.
If I knew
we won’t have tomorrow together
I’d choose to die with today
If I knew
the words to make you stay
I’d not let you walk away.
If I knew
the things that I know now
I wouldn’t have done what I did
Maybe our lives would remain unchanged
And we’d be laughing instead.
