If I Knew Then (What I Know Now)

Yeah, ehhh, heh, heh.
Hey, yeah.

How will I get over the hurt of losing you?
And this is my confession.
It's somewhat my fault that our love is through.
Couldn't swallow my pride, so I turned and walked away.
Love ran in front of me and begged me to stay.
So I pushed love aside, a mistake I realized.
I lost the love of my life.

If I knew then what I know now,
I wouldn't let you go.
We'd be together right now.
If I knew then what I know now,
I would've held on.
We'd be together right now.
I'm still in love with you.

I'm so sorry, so sorry,
Some of the hardest words for me to say.
Is there a chance for us, oh yes,
Or is there someone beside you where I used to lay?
Hey, forget foolish pride, 'cause I want it all back.
Let's leave the past behind.
I'm willing to build love from scratch.
So don't push love aside, (Oh, ho, ho, ho, yeah.)
A mistake I realized. (Heh, eh, eh.)
I'll never get over you. Oh, oh.

(If I knew then) If I knew then what I know now,
(Hey, hey.)
I wouldn't let you go.
We'd be together right now.
If I knew then what I know now, (Mmmm, mmmm.)
I would've held on.
We'd be together right now.
You see, baby, (If I knew then what I know now,)
You don't miss your water until the well goes dry.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. (I wouldn't let you go.)
We'd be together right now.
If I knew then (Oh.) what I know now,
I would've held on.
We'd be together right now.

'Cause right now, my baby,
I'm so alone missing your love. (Your love)
But yesterday's gone, 'cause I pushed love aside,
(I pushed love aside.)
A mistake I realized. (Mmmm.)
I'm so sorry, baby, cause now I realize.
Now I realize.
Oh, oh, oh, hey, eh, eh.

I'll never get over you. (Never, never.)
There's never a day that goes by when I don't think about you, baby.
(I'll never get over you.) Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You see, baby, I'm sorry it took me so long to open up my eyes
And see what a good thing that I had.
(If I knew then what I know now,) Hey, hey.
See, we both make mistakes.
(I wouldn't let you go.) Yeah, we're both human, baby.
(We'd be together right now.)
(If I knew then what I know now,)
There's so much more in my mind.
(I would've held on.)
Let's sit down and talk about it, baby.
(We'd be together right now.) Oh.
Can we give it a try?
(If I knew then what I know now,) I'll never, never,
Never, never, never get over you,
(I wouldn't let you go.)
Not as long as I live, yeah, yeah, yeah.
(We'd be together right now.)
