If only I would have known the things I know now, life would have been a lot easier.
But life ain't no cupcakes and rainbows.
If only I would have known what you meant when I had asked you " Do you like Autumn? "
you replied with a devilish smirk on your face, " I love Autumn. So rough and dry. No beauty. "
I remember the gasp that had left my mouth when you had said those words. If only, oh! If only I would have known I wouldn't be lying here on the dead autumn leaves grasping for air.
If only I would have known how tough life gets when you grow old, I would never have wished to grow up.
Now i'm lying here with a heavy heart as melancholy fills up the silence.
Thinking of the good ol' days when playing in the flower field felt so wonderful.
When Autumn felt so fascinating to me, if only I would have known...
If only I would have seen the storms coming my way, I would have protected myself.
For you came like a thunderstorm and left me trembling with fear.
Now I know why storms are named after people. If only I knew then.
If only I would have known all the right things at the right time, life would have been tranquil.
But life ain't no cupcakes and rainbows and there is no premonition of danger. When dreadful things have to come, they come without any warning no matter how alert you are.
So you gave me a lot to swallow, and if only I would have refused to take it, I wouldn't have to sit here and tell myself " If only I would have known the things I know now. "
