If I Had Known

(专辑： The Songwriter Tapes, Vol. 3 - 2023)

Why didn't my mirror ever tell me I was reckless
Why didn't my friends ever say I could have left it
All of the times I wouldn't listen
Tap on the brakes, I could've but I didn't

I was looking for something, you couldn't tell me nothing
I never had the cards, but it never stopped me bluffing
Heart full of desperate
Fear ain't got nothing on the fearless

If I had known the tears I'd end up counting
If I had known, I'd be moving my own mountains
If I had known the things I thought I knew
Like any fool you think you do, but you don't
If I had known

I wouldn't call it science, but looking back I wonder
If the stubborn me always had the gravity out numbered
I went looking for my Everest
Back pack of pieces of my life left

If I had known the tears I'd end up counting
If I had known, I'd be moving my own mountains
If I had known the things I thought I knew
Like any fool you think you do, but you don't
If I had known

I'd do it all again, I'd do it all again
I'd do it all again, I'd do it all again

If I had known, the weight, the wounds, the distance
If I had known, it wouldn't make a difference

I'd do it all again, I'd do it all again
I'd do it all again, I'd do it all again
