If I Knew Then...

If I knew then, what I know now
Maybe things would be different
Perhaps, I would have learned to listen
More...I think as my tears are glistening

If I knew then what I know now
Maybe I would have matured quicker
The pain wouldn't have been as thick
My heart would not feel this sick

If I knew then what I know now
Maybe I would have noticed your gentle glance
Perhaps given you a chance
Even taken you up on an offer to dance

If I knew then what I know now
I wouldn't have wasted ten years
And avoided shifting my life in different gears
And just maybe wouldn't be experiencing so many fears

If I knew then what I know now
I would have loved more freely
I would have enjoyed just being me
Damn, if things were only that easy

If I knew then what I know now
I would have loved you when we were on the same team
We could have shared the same dreams
Oh how I would go back if I could change things

If I knew then what I know now
Maybe I wouldn't go
But it's fun to imagine though
Because what I didn't know then, is now what I know...
