lyrics

I can’t stand back and just watch you crash and burn
But you have no idea how much this hurts
I can’t tear my eyes away
You wanted to chase the sky
I can’t stop what will happen, even if I tried

I hope she breaks your heart
But I don’t
I want you to take it back but I know you won’t
Tear me open from the inside and go

I wanted to know you so much more
So many ways I would adore you
But you only wanted a cameo

If I knew I’d fall in love
If I knew I’d fall in love
If I knew I’d fall in love
I would have walked away

I see the wall you built between us so you could live with no regret
I already said I would forgive but I don’t know how I can forget
Didn’t we see glimpses of our fire
Now you have to close your eyes to look at her
Ignore that I was the one you desired
We were side by side
Now she’s your world

I hope she breaks your heart
No I don’t
But I do and I don’t and I know you won’t change your mind
Because the longing tastes too good
I wanted you to see me like you did before
When our future was so hopeful and what was in store
Could have been a love we never knew and now we’ll never if it would

If I knew I’d fall in love
If I knew I’d fall in love
If I knew I’d fall in love
I would have walked away

Would it have made a difference if we met before the world disappeared in its cave
Before the wires disconnected from the wave
Would it have made a difference when we met or would I always be too late
Only time will tell the mistake

Can we go back and start again
Close my heart and just pretend we never stood a chance
We could pass each other on the street
Never close enough to feel the heat
And I wouldn’t give you a second glance

If I knew I’d fall in love
If I knew I’d fall in love
If I knew I’d fall in love
I would have walked away
