I Would've - Jessie Murph

If I would've known half of what I do know now If I would've flown on the wings of an eagle somehow If I would've stayed far away from the maddening crowd But if is gone, gone, gone, long gone If I would've left things better left alone If I would've run like a deer, before he threw that stone If I would've jumped sooner from my ivory throne But if is gone, long gone, long gone And we're caught in the middle, in the middle, in the middle Of a fiddlin', fiddlin', fiddlin', fiddlin' tune And the big clock hands can't stop the dance of the sun and the moon If I would've known her daddy was a private-eye If I would've known her momma was a secret spy If I would've seen big trouble 'fore it ever arised But if is gone, gone, gone, long gone If I would've crossed the river 'fore it ran dry If I would've apologized 'fore he gave me two black eyes (oh) If I would've known I was dealing with the devil in disguise But if is gone, long gone, long gone And we're caught in the middle, in the middle, in the middle Of a fiddlin', fiddlin', fiddlin' tune (wow, yeah) And the big clock hands can't stop the dance Of the sun and the moon (No no, no, no, no, yeah) If I would've shown that teacher that I could read If I would've shown that preacher that I was in need If I would've known that hill was a mountain indeed But if is gone, long gone, long gone If I would've blown out the candles on my own and only birthday cake If I would've learned how to swim 'fore they throw me in the lake If I would've slipped in a key 'fore they locked that prison gate But if is gone, long gone, long gone And we're caught int the middle, in the middle, in the middle Of a fiddlin', fiddlin', fiddlin', fiddlin' tune And the big clock hands can't stop the dance Of the sun and the moon (oh no, no, no, no, no) If I would've known If I would've kown If I would've known

If I'd a-known the way that this would end If I'd a-read the last page first If I'd a-had the strength to walk away If I'd a-known how this would hurt I would've loved you anyway I'd do it all the same Not a second I would change Not a touch that I would trade Had I known my heart would break I'd a-loved you anyway It's bittersweet to look back now At mem'ries withered on the vine But just to hold you close to me For a moment in time I would've loved you anyway I'd do it all the same Not a second I would change Not a touch that I would trade Had I known my heart would break I'd a-loved you anyway And even if I'd seen it coming You'd still've seen me running Straight into your arms I would've loved you anyway I'd do it all the same Not a second I would change Not a touch that I would trade Had I known my heart would break I would've loved you anyway I would've loved you anyway

You gave me every reason to feel like this Now there's nothing you can do to change it You know me better than anyone else And how far I'm willing to take it I never meant it more than I do now There's only one way I can say it More than forever, always, madly The deepest, unforgettable With all that I am, with my heart wide open For the rest of my life, I promise you And I'm gonna hate you as long and as much As I would've loved you And I would've loved you You gave one night to some nobody After I gave you all of me You should've known when it comes to me Nothing's every temporary I've never meant it more than I do now This feelin' is gonna make it More than forever, always, madly The deepest, unforgettable With all that I am, with my heart wide open For the rest of my life, I promise you That I'm gonna hate you as long and as much As I would've loved you (I would've loved you) And I would've loved you (I would have loved you) I would've been always there for you Cared for you I swear it's true More than forever, always, madly The deepest, unforgettable With all that I am, with my heart wide open For the rest of my life, I promise you That I'm gonna hate you as long and as much That I'm gonna hate you as long and as much As I would've loved you And I would've loved you I would've loved you (I'm gonna hate you) I'm gonna hate you (like I would've loved you) I would've loved you, would've loved you, would've loved you I would've loved you

I want you to bring the man they've never seen The man they've never known The one they'll come to know Things change so much in the fast life we go I just can't come back and slow down my growth I'll head right back to you once I get everything I said I'd get for you I said I'd get for you And when things change It's unexplained But that's ok That's ok I hope you're riding with me I saw you with your girls And you wasn't riding with me You didn't look my way and I don't know why I just want to get you back in my ride Just for old times I know, things haven't been so great But I'm, dying to live today For you, I'll give my everything And here's the crazy thing I'd do it all again I never would have known Oh, how would I ever known How would I ever known Could this all end how you predicted With me don't be fake No, not face to face You say that you love me then lie to my face And it's not erased I see you over there looking fine And it hurts me inside Coz I know that you're not mine You're not mine You won't be mine You won't be mine Move on don't worry this ain't your first time The more it happens the more you feel fine Why are you putting your feelings aside Are you ok with just living a lie I never would have known I never would have known I never would have known Could this all end how you predicted
