If I'd only knew

(Verse 1) When I was young.. was too young to know.. The sacrifices needed to help me grow.. The tears that have fallen.. While yours have been wiped.. The dreams that were given.. Without hesitation in sight.. The times when you were falling.. The times shadows clouded the light.. The times of tears falling.. on your pillow at night. I'd take every bit of advice given, and trust you were right.. If I only knew.. Life was gonna. take. you. (Chorus) CUS I'D SAVOUR EVERY LAUGH.. TAKE A PICTURE OF EVERY SMILE.. I'D HOLD YOUR HANDS TIGHTLY.. LIKE WHEN I WAS A CHILD.. I'D HOLD ON TO YOU FOREVER.. NOT JUST A LITTLE WHILE.. (IF I'D ONLY KNOWN...) What I know.. I. miss. you! (Verse 2) Swear I've touched this pen to paper a thousand times.. But for you, nothing.. ever, feels like it rhymes. I'd follow you to the afterlife, that's right... I'd follow you anywhere if I could only climb. In the quiet moments of the day.. I feel you there.. Begging me not to waste it away. In the quiet moments of the night.. I feel you there.. telling me everything's going to be alright. (Be alright..) If I'd only knew.. I would of held on closer to you.. (Chorus) CUS I'D SAVOUR EVERY LAUGH.. TAKE A PICTURE OF EVERY SMILE.. I'D HOLD YOUR HANDS TIGHTLY.. LIKE WHEN I WAS A CHILD.. I'D HOLD ON TO YOU FOREVER.. NOT JUST A LITTLE WHILE.. (IF I'D ONLY KNOWN...) What I know.. I. miss. you (Verse 3) The last time that I saw you.. I let my fear go into overdrive. Screaming at the world to just tell me why.. Why its gotta be you? You worked so hard.. You were a mother duck.. To the people around you, down on their luck. You built it up.. Just to watch it crumble and burn.. Taken away all you've earned.. But if I'd only knew.. (Outro) CUS I'D SAVOUR EVERY LAUGH.. TAKE A PICTURE OF EVERY SMILE.. I'D HOLD YOUR HANDS TIGHTLY.. LIKE WHEN I WAS A CHILD.. I'D HOLD ON TO YOU FOREVER.. NOT JUST A LITTLE WHILE.. (IF I'D ONLY KNOWN...) What I know.. I. miss. you (I MISS YOU!) (Verse 3) The last time that I saw you.. I let my fear go into overdrive. Screaming at the world to just tell me why.. WHY ITS GOTTA BE YOU? You worked so hard.. You were a mother duck.. To the people around you, down on their luck. You built it up.. Just to watch it crumble and burn.. Taken away all you've earned.. But if I'd only knew.. (Outro) CUS I'D SAVOUR EVERY LAUGH.. TAKE A PICTURE OF EVERY SMILE.. I'D HOLD YOUR HANDS TIGHTLY.. LIKE WHEN I WAS A CHILD.. I'D HOLD ON TO YOU FOREVER.. NOT JUST A LITTLE WHILE.. (IF I'D ONLY KNOWN...) What I know.. I. miss. you (I MISS YOU!)
