Verse
You said, you’ll see me later,
Like you always did before.
You grabbed your keys, half-smiling
As you walked out through the door.
And I almost said, “I love you”
But I figured you’d just know
We were talking about tomorrow
Like we had somewhere to go
Pre-Chorus
There was no music playing
No warning in the air
Just another ordinary moment
We didn’t even know was rare
Chorus
If I had known
That was the last goodbye
I would’ve held you longer
Would’ve memorized your eyes
I would’ve said I love you
Like it was the final time
If I had known
Oh, if I had known
I never would’ve let you go
[Verse 2 flowing, heart-wrenching]
I hear your voice in the silence
And it’s fading from my mind
I reach for you in empty rooms
But there’s nothing left to find
The love I’ve got for you inside
Is broken, raw, and true
It’s stuck beneath my ribs
With nowhere else to move
Pre-Chorus
I laugh, then hate myself
Like I’m betraying you
How can the world keep turning
When it stopped for me and you
Chorus
If I had known
That was the last goodbye
I would’ve held you longer
Would’ve memorized your eyes
I would’ve said I love you
Like it was the final time
If I had known
Oh, if I had known
I never would’ve let you go
[Bridge (heartbreaking, intimate, restrained]
If I had known…
I’d have held you tight
If I had known…
I’d have said I love you
And I hope you felt it too
(I hope you felt it too)
[Final Chorus / Emotional Lift]
If I had known
That was the last goodbye
I would’ve held you so much longer
Would’ve memorized your eyes
I would’ve said I love you
Like it was the final time
If I had known
Oh, if I had known
I would never have let you go
No… no…
I would never have let you go
