Lyrics If I Knew - Anouk

If I Knew

Why was I waiting for tomorrow?
Why didn’t I take the time?
To say «I'm sorry» and that we were fine
If I knew it’d be the last time I would see you walking out the door
I’d give you hugs and kisses and call you back for more
I would say «I love you more than you will ever know»
And hold you so close to my heart and ask you never to let go
If I knew that this would be the last time that I’ll see your face
I would stop and say «I need you every day»
But now you’re gone, my love
What do you say when words are not enough?
A prayer in a peaceful place with God by your side
Still can’t believe it’s true, I wasn’t ready to say goodbye
Baby, I’m still lost without you, there’s so much that I wanted to say
I’m lost in a sea of time, but it’s a little too late
I hope you knew I loved you so, each and every day
Did you know you taught me to live to the fullest every day?
If I knew that this would be the last time that I’ll see your face
I would stop and say «I need you every day»
But now you’re gone, my love
What do you say when words are not enough?
If I knew that this would be the last time that I’ll see your face
What do you say when words just don’t mean enough?
Now you’re gone, my love
Gone, gone, gone
Even on the darkest days and on my greyest nights
When my tears poured out like rain, you’d be the one that made me smile
Now my days go by and back without you
If I knew that this would be the last time that I’ll see your face
I would stop and say «I need you every day»
But now you’re gone, my love
What do you say when words are not enough?
