Emitt Rhodes - If I Knew Then Lyrics

If I knew then what I know now
The blood would have frozen in my vein
Every hair on my head would have stood on it
Every nerve I have in vein

I found out love and hope and broke
I could have been so blind
These days I take a closer look
Can I read between the lines

If I knew then what I know now
I'd make amends I'd change somehow
Wouldn't give my heart to just anyone
If I knew then what was to come

I gave my trust and not to pay
How could I be so dumb
I wish I'd live not once but twice
Let turn tail run

If I knew then what I know now
I'd make amends I change somehow
Wouldn't give my heart to just anyone
If I knew then what was to come

Abandoned our hope for you
Went to here
The future is dark and the way
Not clear
And your faith maybe worsen
You might feel

If I knew then what I know now
I'd make amends I change somehow
Wouldn't give my heart to just anyone
If I knew then what was to come
