Lyrics

Once I was so right, then I was so wrong.
How was I to know I did not belong?
Imagine how I felt when the news
Came to me over the phone.
Thinking to myself, what we had would stay;
My mistake I’m sure, that I felt that way.
I’m sure I would have held back those feelings
If I’d only known

If I’d only known how our love would go,
I would have been more careful with the love I showed.
If I’d only known exactly how you’d be, I would have never let you get to me

But things that we don’t know, never hurt, they say;
At least until the truth finally gets its way
I never would have let it get that far
If I’d only known

If I’d only known how our love would go,
I would have been more careful with the love I showed.
If I’d only known exactly how you’d be, I would have never let you get to me

Don’t say my eyes are red- I’ve heard that one enough
It’s not from lack of sleep- it’s just a lack of love.
But nothing else has been on my mind
Since I’ve been left alone

If I’d only known how our love would go,
I would have been more careful with the love I showed.
If I’d only known exactly how you’d be, I would have never let you get to me
