If I Knew Then

As recorded by: Marisa Ireland
Hindsight is better than foresight,
It’s twenty-twenty all the way,
If I could go back to the one night
When I threw a true love away,
I’d do things differently, be the woman you deserve,
I’d never have to say these words
Chorus:
If I knew then what I know now,
I’d be a better me,
I’d never break a vow
Meant for eternity,
I’d take your hand in mine, I’d stop the world in time somehow
If I knew then what I know now
Whoa oh, oh oh oh
Sometimes I wonder about you,
Whether you ever think of me
Living my whole life without you
Ain’t what it’s cracked up to be,
I’d trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday,
One chance to never have to say
(Repeat chorus)
Bridge:
Now I’m nothing but a
A skeleton of what I
I might have been and what I ought to be,
I need you to make me
Whole and true but baby
I can’t undo what I have done to you and me
Reprise:
Hindsight is better than foresight,
It’s twenty-twenty all the way,
If I could go back to the one night
When I threw a true love away
