lyrics

“If I Knew Then”

VERSE ONE
If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
I still would find a way to screw it up some how
If I knew then what I know now

VERSE TWO
Looking back you know I could’ve done better
You’ve been doing a lot of growing since we been together
You were carrying all the weight, I was floating like a feather
Looking back you know I could’ve done better

VERSE THREE
It cost a pretty penny, but was not a pretty sight
You drew me near ya, you said it’s be alright
I didn’t hear ya, I was looking for a fight
It cost a pretty penny, but was not a pretty sight

MIDDLE 8
I should’ve know that you were only trying to do your best to stick around
On this side of town
I didn’t know that you were lonely, you were unimpressed and that I’d let you down
But I know now…

VERSE FOUR
Over time you know we went our separate ways
You’ve been doing just fine, I’ve been miserable for days
The house we bought together went up in a blaze
The sirens were screaming, but we had nothing left to say

MIDDLE 8
I should’ve know that you were only trying to do your best to stick around
On this side of town
I didn’t know that you were lonely, you were unimpressed and that I’d let you down

VERSE FIVE
If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
I still would find a way to screw it up some how
If I knew then what I know now…
