If I'd Have Known Then


This was written when I was working at a fast food restaurant. It was shortly before my ex and I got together. There was this guy that I worked with. He was actually a manager. When he met my ex, he quickly informed me that my ex was a bad guy and that I needed someone else. How could I say that I agreed and tell my manager that it was actually him that I wanted? I never told him, and now he is an expant father dating my best friend's sister. I'm happy for him, but a tiny little bitty part of my soul wishes that it had been me.



He said he loved me,
And I believed it.
You said he was no good,
But I didn’t wanna see it.
I guess I just really wanted him to be true.
I really should’ve listened to you,
I really should’ve listened to my heart.
But that’s the way it goes,
You’ve gotta finish what you start

If I’d have known then
What I know now,
I wouldn’t have let me play around.
I’d have told you everything
That I feel now.
What if I’d have told you,
How it was back then?
Maybe we’d have figured it out somehow.
And I’d be doing all right,
I wouldn’t be missing you now.

You don’t know how many nights
I fell asleep in his bed,
Wishing it were yours
And all the fantasies centered around you
I truly wish that I hadn’t been so naive
Then maybe we coulda been
But all I have now are these damn memories
And these old fantasies
Damn boy, though you were never mine
I want you to come back to me

If I’d have known then
What I know now,
I wouldn’t have let me play around.
I’d have told you everything
That I feel now.
What if I’d have told you,
How it was back then?
Maybe we’d have figured it out somehow.
And I’d be doing all right,
I wouldn’t be missing you now.
