If I Knew

[Verse 1]
Couldn't believe it when I heard it
It was enough to make a heartbeat stop
Reminded me of the uncertain and love that we've lost
I know I took our hearts for granted
I never knew the sun would fail to rise
How am I to understand this all on my own

If I knew it'd be the last time
Id try a little harder
Make that goodbye last a little longer
Woulda held you just a little stronger
If I, I knew it'd be the last time

You know you never see it coming
Time always finds a way to pass us by
But I still feel you all around me when I close my eyes

All the flowers on the side walk and every single tear that we cried
How I wish that I could change it and bring you back tonight

If I knew it'd be the last time
Id try a little harder
Make that goodbye last a little longer
Woulda held you just a little stronger
If I, I knew it'd be the last time

So Lauren lay your head down
I'll be right beside you
So Lauren close your eyes now
(I'll be right behind you)
Couldn't believe it when I heard it
It was enough to make a heartbeat stop

If I knew it'd be the last time
Id try a little harder
Make that goodbye last a little longer
Woulda held you just a little stronger
If I, I knew it'd be the last time
Id try a little harder
Make that goodbye last a little longer
Woulda held you just a little stronger
If I knew, I knew it'd be the last time
