If I'd Only Known - Joey Tempest

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
