Lyrics If I'd Only Known - Joey Tempest

If I'd Only Known

One of those times when the truth comes out
And the only thing I was sure of now I doubt
One of those moments when it all comes clear
When I feel the emptiness now you’re not here
You made yourself a new life
Do you ever think of me
I can see you look so good
I’d take you right now if I could
I wouldn’t be here missing you so bad
If I’d only known just what I had
Seemed to me things were going well
And just how wrong I was it’s hard to tell
You didn’t hear for far too long
What you needed me to say and now you’re gone
Here I am a stranger
In a world I have not known
I can see you look so good
I’d take you right now if I could
I wouldn’t be here missing you so bad
If I’d only known just what I had
Standing here watching you
Wondering what I have to do
Oh just to get close to you
I look at her I see no pain
She’s learning how to smile again
Oh puts my memory to shame
You’ve found yourself a new life
Do you ever think of me
I can see you look so good
I’d take you right now if I could
Just to feel your touch I must be mad
I wish that I had read the signs
Maybe tried to change your mind
I would’t be here missing you so bad
If I’d only known just what I had
Just what I had
