Lyrics

If I knew
I could do
These things, I’ve been up to
Then I wouldn't have made you
The bad one

If I knew
Why you threw
This thing, we’d been up to
Then I wouldn't have blamed you
For what you planned to be

If I lost you
when I was looking for something
than I’m right where I started
And when I try to find the words for why
I'm empty handed

If I found you
when I was running from something
than I’m losing my breath
And if the way I feel for you was stolen
than I’m the thief

When I knew
You withdrew
And the love, faded from view
What was left
Was fleeting

Carry on
Love is strong
We have both, moved along
You and I, yes we tried, but sometimes
It just ain’t meant to be.

If I lost you
when I was looking for something
than I’m right where I started
And when I try to find the words for why
I'm empty handed

If I found you
when I was running from something
than I’m losing my breath
And if the way I feel for you was stolen
than I’m the thief
