If I Knew Then

(album: Rainbow Ends - 2016)

If I knew then what I know now
The blood would have frozen in my veins
Every hair on my head would have stood on end
Every nerve I have in vein

I thought our love an open book
How could I be so blind?
These days, I take a closer look
And I read between the lines

If I knew then what I know now
I'd make amends, I'd change somehow
Wouldn't give my heart to just anyone
If I knew then what was to come

I gave my trust and had to pay
How could I be so dumb
I wish I'd looked not once but twice
Then turned tail and run

If I knew then what I know now
I'd make amends, I'd change somehow
Wouldn't give my heart to just anyone
If I knew then what was to come

Abandon all hope, all ye who enter here
The future is dark and the way not clear
And your faith may be worse than you might fear

If I knew then what I know now
I'd make amends, I'd change somehow
Wouldn't give my heart to just anyone
If I knew then what was to come
