If I Had Known

If I had known it would have ended like this, I would have never let myself fall.
I woke from my dream and looked beside myself in bed
Hoping you would be there with me to receive the day ahead
I see you every night, and every night you look so good
There are so many things I want to say to you, and my heart thinks I should
My mind, my nerves, my gut, my feet are frozen when I speak.
This is what you do to me, you make my knees feel weak
I will not wait any longer, I’ve waited long enough
Watching from the distance you’ve had my heart in cuffs
I go to say hello to you, but before I can say a word
You say hello to me first, and it’s the most beautifully thing I’ve heard
I reach deep down and calm my heart racing like it is
And soon with gentle persuasions we will share our first kiss
The second, third, and fourth, never far behind
You’ve given to me the happiness I’ve looked so hard to find
I wake again from my sleep and look beside myself in bed
Sure enough there you are pillow softly against your head
You look so beautiful in your sleep dreaming your pleasant dreams
I can not say for sure, but I can only hope they are of me
I dream at night no longer, as all my dreams are true
Since the day I met you, any dream I had was to only be with you
We lay awake some nights to share stories from our past
We talk about the future and the love that will forever last
And every time I leave you as I walk out the door
You tell me that you love me, but I tell you I love you more
I’d go to the edge of the world and back, I’d walk that extra mile
And every thing I do for you, I do just to see you smile
I wake up from my sleep again and looked beside my self in bed
You are not here this time and I think at what I said
My head hurts and pounds and screams for me to see
That everything we had together was nothing but a dream
They say it’s better to have loved and lost, then to have never have loved at all
But if I had known it would have ended like this, I would have never let myself fall.
