Lyrics If I Knew Then - Emitt Rhodes

If I Knew Then

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 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 change somehow
Wouldn’t give my heart to just anyone
If I knew then what was to come
