Music & lyrics by Tylan Greenstein

lyrics

If I had known, I would have not been so hard / If I had known, I would have fixed up the car / If I had known, I would have come to the door / When you came in from the store / Never said that you were wrong / If I had known that you’d be gone / If I had known, our life would have been just like / A magic show where birds appear and then fly / Like the old days, in all the films when they’d kiss / And you’d say ‘Love’s not like this’ / I would have held you for so long / If I had known that you’d be gone / I’m not one to hang on to regret / But I can’t stand that there are moments I forget / And I don’t envy other people’s lives / But now I envy that guy / Who had you there by my side / If I had known, I would have walked right back in / When things got rough / Seemed so important to win / I left you there and went out drinking all night / Kept up my end of the fight / I thought that that made me strong / If I had known that you’d be gone / No regrets / ‘Cause there are things that you can’t plan / But yeah, I guess I could have been a better man / Now I don’t envy other people as a rule / But now I envy that fool / Who had you there in my hands / If I had known, I would’ve taken the time / Put down the phone / Opened that bottle of wine / We bought in France and saved for some perfect day / And then the time slipped away / The perfect day has come and gone / If I had known that you’d be gone / (I could have held you for so long if I had known)
