If I knew then what I know now

carroll

If I knew then what I know now

Chorus

If I knew then what I know now

I wouldn't be outside looking in:

But hindsight's twenty- twenty

when love comes to an end.

Verse

Yesterday's a crystal ball;

An open book to read

But it's too bad that the story

ends in tragedy.

Here I am and there you are;

in love and in his arms.

It's a pity but it's my own fault

that I'm not where you are.

Chorus

If I knew then what I know now

I wouldn't be outside looking in:

But hindsight's twenty- twenty

When you look at where you've been.

Verse

Tomorrow holds no future

when it comes to you and me.

I can rewind the memories

But it doesn't change a thing.

It's killing me to know

He has you in his arms

So I'm just going to stay here

getting drunk in this old bar.

Chorus

If I knew then what I know now

I wouldn't be outside looking in;

but hindsight's twenty- twenty

when love comes to an end.

Bridge

Changing rearranging

old memories in vain

Only serves to make things worse

and amplifies the pain.

Coulda, shoulda , woulda

doesn't change history.

If I'd have been more like him

You'd still be with me.

Chorus

If I knew then what I know now

I wouldn't be outside looking in:

But hindsight's twenty- twenty

when love comes to an end.
