If I'd Only Know
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One of those times, when the truth comes out
And the only thing I was sure of now I doubt
One of those moments, when it all comes clear
When I feel the emptynes when you're not here
You made yourself a new life
Do you ever think of me?
I can see you look so good
I'd take you right now if I could
I would'nt be here missing you so bad
If I'd only know just what I had
Seem to me, things were going well
Just how wrong I was is hard to tell
You did'nt hear, for far too long
What you needed me to say, and now you're gone
Here I am a stranger
In a world I have my norm
I can see you look so good
I'd take you right now if I could
I would'nt be here missing you so bad
If I'd only know just what I had
Standing here, watching you
Wondering what I have to do
Oh, just to get close to you
Look at her I see no pain
She is learning how to smile again
Oh, puts my memorie to change
Find yourself a new life
Do you ever think of me?
I can see you look so good
I'd take you right now if I could
Just to feel you touch, I must be mad
I wished that I had read the sign
Maybe tried to change your mind
I would'nt be here missing you so bad
If I'd only know just what I had
Just what I had
Just what I had
Just what I had
