Only If I Knew

I left you standing on that old front porch (porch)

With tears in your eyes as I drove away (far away)

I thought I had it all, thought I had to explore

But now I'm here with empty hands and so much more (so much more)

Oh, if I knew, if only I knew

The pain I'd feel, the pain I put you through

I'd turn back time, take back those words I said

I'd hold you close and never let you go instead (instead)

I've seen the world, but it's you I miss (I miss)

Every new sunrise, reminds me of your kiss (your kiss)

I traded our love for a fleeting thrill

But nothing out there could ever fill

Oh, if I knew, if only I knew

The pain I'd feel, the pain I put you through

I'd turn back time, take back those words I said

I'd hold you close and never let you go instead (instead)

Under the stars, I'm calling your name (your name)

Hoping and praying you're feeling the same (the same)

Would you forgive, can we restart?

Or is it too late for this repentant heart?

Oh, if I knew, if only I knew

The pain I'd feel, the pain I put you through

I'd turn back time, take back those words I said

I'd hold you close and never let you go instead (instead)

Oh, if I knew, if only I knew

The pain I'd feel, the pain I put you through

I'd turn back time, take back those words I said

I'd hold you close and never let you go instead (instead)
