If I Knew Then - Emitt Rhodes

If I knew then what I know now

The blood would have frozen in my veins

Every hair on my head would have stood on end

Every nerve I have in vein

I thought our love an open book

How could I be so blind

These days I take a closer look

And I read between the lines

If I knew then what I know now

I’d make amends I’d change somehow

Wouldn’t give my heart to just anyone

If I knew then what was to come

I gave my trust and had to pay

How could I be so dumb

I wish I’d looked not once but twice

Then turned tail and run

If I knew then what I know now

I’d make amends I change somehow

Wouldn’t give my heart to just anyone

If I knew then what was to come

Abandon all hope all ye who enter here

The future is dark and the way not clear

And your faith may be worse than you might fear

If I knew then what I know now

I’d make amends I change somehow

Wouldn’t give my heart to just anyone

If I knew then what was to come
