If I Had Known
~~~
If I had known, it would end like this
I would have lingered longer in each kiss
Wished a little harder with every wish
If I had known, it would end like this
~~~
If I had known, we would get this far
I would have saved every moment in a jar
Become some lesser man by far
If I had known, we would get this far
~~~
If I had known, words not always true
I would have paused any second with you
Somehow blessed by what I never knew
If I had known, words not always true
~~~
