lyrics

G A Bm G
I didn’t plan for things like this, when I wrote my bucket list
I didn’t care at the time as long as I was doing fine
I didn’t hear what you were telling me I didn’t want to see
G A Bm Bm
I didn’t care what you wanted to say as I was walking away

G D A Bm A
If I had known it would be like this I would have said goodbye with a kiss
G D A
If I had known it would be this way I would have begged you to stay
G D A Bm A
If I had known, If I had only known
G D A A
But I didn’t know, If I had only known

G A Bm G
I didn’t get a chance to say, All the things I wanted to say
I didn’t speak up when I could, Now I wish I would have
Have said these things to you, Like I wanted to
G A Bm Bm
I didn’t know, If I had known

Chorus 2

Bm A G D
If I could do it all again, We’d never reach the end
We would’ve taken more time, Everything would still be fine
Little changes to the past, Still won’t bring you back
G A Bm
I didn’t know, We didn’t know

G A Bm G
I didn’t know I’d be so alone, Just sitting here at home
I didn’t know it would be so hard, To be so far apart
I didn’t know it would be so tough to be apart from the one that I love
G A Bm Bm
I didn’t know, How could I have known

Chorus 3
