Verse 1
You said, "I'll see you later,"
Like every other day
Keys were in your pocket
As you slowly walked away
I almost said, "I love you,"
But I thought you already knew
We were talking 'bout tomorrow
Like tomorrow would come too
Pre-Chorus
No warning in the silence
No shadow in the sky
Just another ordinary day...
That turned into a goodbye
Chorus
If I had known
This was the last goodbye
I'd have held you just a little longer
I'd have memorized your eyes
And i would have said, "I love you,"
One more time before you left
Now those words are all that's living
Inside my empty chest
If I had known...
God, if I had known...
I'd never let you go
Verse 2
Now your voice gets a little quieter
Every passing day
I'm scared that time will steal the things
I still hear you say
Sometimes I hear the front door close
And my heart still thinks it's you
Then reality comes crashing in...
Like it always seems to do
Pre-Chorus
The whole world's still moving forward
Mine stopped that afternoon
I'm still waiting by the doorway...
Waiting there for you
Chorus
If I had known
This was the last goodbye
I'd have held you just a little longer
I'd have memorized your eyes
I'd have said, "I love you,"
Till there was no breath to spare
Now I whisper it to silence...
Hoping somehow you're still there
Bridge
I still catch myself believing
You'll be walking through that door
Funny how the heart keeps waiting
Even when it knows...
Final Chorus
If I had known
This was the last goodbye
I'd have held you through the sunrise
Never left your side
I'd have told you that I loved you
Till the words became my last
If I had known...
Oh, if I had known...
I'd have tried...
To make forever last.
