If I Knew

Couldn't believe it when I heard it

It was enough to make a heart beat stop

Reminded me of the uncertain

And love that we've lost

I know I took our lust for granted

I never thought the sun would fail to rise

How am I to understand this

All on my own

If I knew it'd be the last time

I'd try a little harder

Make that goodbye,

Last a little longer

Would've held you,

Just a little stronger

If I... I knew it'd be the last time

You know you never see it coming

Time always finds a way to pass us by

But I still feel you all around me

When I close my eyes

And all the flowers on the sidewalk

And every single tear that we cried

How I wish that I could change it

And bring you back tonight

If I knew it'd be the last time

I'd try a little harder

Make that goodbye,

Last a little longer

Would've held you,

Just a little stronger

If I... I knew it'd be the last time

So Laurie lay your head down

I'll be right beside you

So Laurie close your eyes now

I'll be right behind you

Couldn't believe it when I heard it

It was enough to make a heart beat stop

If I knew it'd be the last time

I'd try a little harder

Make that goodbye,

Last a little longer

Would've held you,

Just a little stronger

If I... I knew it'd be the last time

I'd try a little harder

Make that goodbye,

Last a little longer

Would've held you,

Just a little stronger

If I knew

I knew it'd be the last time
