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
