Verse 1]
You said, "See you later..."
Like you'd always come back home
Keys still in your hand
You kissed me, then you were gone
I almost said, "I love you..."
Guess I thought you already knew
We were making plans for Friday
Like we always used to do
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing felt different
Nothing felt wrong
Who knew forever...
Could end before too long?
[Chorus]
If I'd known...
You were saying your last goodbye
I'd have held you forever
I'd have looked into your eyes
I'd have said, "I love you..."
One more... one more time
Now I'm left here talking
To memories every night
If I'd known...
God, if I'd known...
I'd never have let you go...
[Verse 2]
Your voice gets a little quieter
Every single day
I'm scared that one morning
It'll all just fade away
Sometimes I hear the front door
And my heart still says it's you
Then reality hits me...
Like it always, always does
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody keeps moving
Like nothing ever changed
But my whole world stopped...
The second that you left
[Chorus]
If I'd known...
You were saying your last goodbye
I'd have held you forever
I'd have looked into your eyes
I'd have said, "I love you..."
Till my lungs ran out of air
Now I'm saying those words...
Hoping somehow you're still there
If I'd known...
God, if I'd known...
I'd never have let you go...
[Break]
I still leave the light on...
Like you're coming home...
I still hear your footsteps...
Even though I know...
[Build]
Maybe love never leaves...
Maybe it just changes shape...
But I'd give anything...
Just to see your face...
[Final Chorus]
If I'd known...
You were saying your last goodbye...
I'd have held you forever...
Never let go this time...
I'd have said, "I love you..."
Till there was nothing left inside...
If I'd known...
God, if I'd known...
I'd still be holding on...
To you...
[Outro]
You said, "See you later..."
I just didn't know...
Later...
Would never come.
Tonenico
