Only if I knew how to love.

love you like you wanted me to,

then maybe you wouldn't have left me,

but you did & I don't blame you.

 

Only if I knew how to complain,

about things that I knew were faulty.

but there was no point in protesting

co'z you always misunderstood me.

 

Only if you could see my pain,

the pain I carried for so long,

co'z I knew how much I loved you,

but you always thought it was wrong.

 

Only if you could learn

to be a little more understanding,

then you would have known me exactly

& you would have been less demanding.

 

Only if I knew how to wait.

so that my heart could tell me

that was it really love I was in

or a lie which I couldn't see.

 

Only if I knew how to forget.

forget those memories & emotions

which kept me up all night

& which made me live in wrong notions.

 

But it's too late now to think about it now.

I'll have to kiss those days goodbye.

but it could have been a lot better,

only if I knew.........only if I.
