If I Had Known

If we could go back
A long time ago
I'd change the past
Change so many things, you know

All the wasted time
Spent pushing you away
So much on my mind
I felt I couldn't say

But I miss being that close, feeling accepted
Darling, y'know, I loved you except that
I was too scared
Thought you might run away

So I ran first
I feared the worst
I cut you out, so I wouldn't get hurt
But if I could choose
I'd still choose you
A thousand times if you want me to

Cuz I never knew how much you loved me
All of the time spent thinking of me
If I had known it wouldn't have felt as though
I was loving you on my own

If we could start new
I'd fight for what we had
Anything for you
The good was worth the bad

Like when you would arrive where you weren't invited
Rolling my eyes, we'd start to fight and
I would lose sleep,
But I couldn't stay away

Still I ran first
I feared the worst
I cut you out so I wouldn't get hurt
But if I could choose
I'd still choose you
A thousand times if you want me to

Cuz I never knew how much you loved me
All of the time spent thinking of me
If I had known it wouldn't have felt as though
I was loving you on my own

You told me once what you thought of me
Didn't believe someone could love me
Meant what I said, I just said it too late

Cuz I ran first
Yes, I'm the worst
Tried to save myself and we both got hurt
But if I could choose
I'd still choose you
Never felt for anybody what I felt for you

Cuz you never knew how much I loved you (I loved you)
All of the time spent thinking of you (I loved you)
Guess I was blind, shouldn't have let you go
(Let you go)
I never knew how much you loved me
All of the time spent thinking of me
If I had known it wouldn't have felt as though
I was loving you on my own
Loving you on my own
Cuz I ran faster and further
Wish that I could run right back

Cuz I miss being that close, feeling accepted
Darling, y'know, I loved you except that
I was too scared
So I pushed you away
