If I Had Known Lyrics

If I had known, I would have not been so hard
If I had known, I would have fixed up the car
If I had known, I would have come to the door
When you came in from the store
Never said that you were wrong
If I had known that you'd be gone
If I had known, our life would have been just like
A magic show where birds appear and then fly
Like the old days, in all the films when they'd kiss
And you'd say 'Love's not like this'
I would have held you for so long
If I had known that you'd be gone
I'm not one to hang on to regret
But I can't stand that there are moments I forget
And I don't envy other people's lives
But now I envy that guy
Who had you there by my side
If I had known, I would have walked right back in When things got rough
Seemed so important to win
I left you there and went out drinking all night
Kept up my end of the fight
I thought that that made me strong
If I had known that you'd be gone
No regrets
‘Cause there are things that you can't plan
But yeah, I guess I could have been a better man
Now I don't envy other people as a rule
But now I envy that fool
Who had you there in my hands
If I had known, I would've taken the time
Put down the phone
Opened that bottle of wine
We bought in France and saved for some perfect day
And then the time slipped away
The perfect day has come and gone
If I had known that you'd be gone
(I could have held you for so long if I had known)
