[Verse 1]
I see the trap ahead, yet I still fall again
I lost myself in what I did, thinking of what would come next
And I made up the lie that it would happen once again
I realized I was sleeping, dreaming that I had already woken up

[Pre-Chorus]
After it all, I understood
That time will stay behind, and I’ll be the one who’s gone

[Chorus]
If I had only known
I would’ve held on to the moment
Instead of waiting for it to become a memory
Just to miss it later on
If I had only known
That running gets you nowhere
If I had known that it was the last time
Maybe it wouldn’t have been

[Verse 2]
I keep rehearsing futures I don’t know if I’ll ever get
I keep missing all the pasts, every one I rushed away
Like when the sunlight came in through the morning
And lit up the little freckles on your face

[Chorus]
If I had only known
I would’ve held on to the moment
Instead of waiting for it to become a memory
Just to miss it later on
If I had only known
That running gets you nowhere
If I had known that it was the last time
Maybe it wouldn’t have been

[Post-Chorus]

Maybe it wouldn’t have been

[Outro]
Like when the tired sun was fading away
And you curled up beside me and dreamed
If I had only known
