If I Knew - Every Avenue

Couldn’t believe it when I heard it

It was enough to make a heartbeat stop

Reminded me of the uncertain and love that we’ve lost

I know I took our hearts for granted

I never knew the sun would fail to rise

How am I to understand this all on my own

If I knew it’d be the last time

Id try a little harder

Make that goodbye last a little longer

Woulda held you just a little stronger

If I, I knew it’d be the last time

You know you never see it coming

Time always finds a way to pass us by

But I still feel you all around me when I close my eyes

All the flowers on the side walk and every single tear that we cried

How I wish that I could change it and bring you back tonight

If I knew it’d be the last time

Id try a little harder

Make that goodbye last a little longer

Woulda held you just a little stronger

If I, I knew it’d be the last time

So Lauren lay your head down

I’ll be right beside you

So Lauren close your eyes now

(I'll be right behind you)

Couldn’t believe it when I heard it

It was enough to make a heartbeat stop

If I knew it’d be the last time

Id try a little harder

Make that goodbye last a little longer

Woulda held you just a little stronger

If I, I knew it’d be the last time

Id try a little harder

Make that goodbye last a little longer

Woulda held you just a little stronger

If I knew, I knew it’d be the last time
