If I'd Only Know Songtext
von Joey Tempest

One of those times when the truth comes out
And the only thing I was sure of now I doubt

One of those moments when it all comes clear
When I feel the emptiness now you′re not here

You made yourself a new life
Do you ever think of me?

I can see you look so good
I'd take you right now if I could
I wouldn′t be here missing you so bad

If I'd only known just what I had

Seemed to me things were going well
And just how wrong I was, it's hard to tell
You didn′t hear for far too long
What you needed me to say and now you′re gone

Here I am a stranger
In a world I have not known

I can see you look so good
I'd take you right now if I could
I wouldn′t be here missing you so bad


If I'd only known just what I had

Standing here, watching you
Wondering what I have to do
Oh, just to get close to you

I look at her, I see no pain
She′s learning how to smile again
Oh, puts my memory to shame

You've found yourself a new life
Do you ever think of me?

I can see you look so good
I′d take you right now if I could
Just to feel your touch, I must be mad

I wish that I had read the signs
Maybe tried to change your mind
I wouldn't be here missing you so bad

If I'd only known just what I had

Just what I had
Just what I had

Just what I had
Just what I had
