[Verse 1]
My rivers were all dammed and my stars all had their names
There was nothing left to discover
'Til she came into my hands, and I let her slip away
And now it sparks my heart with wonder

[Chorus]
What if I'd known?
What if I'd known? (If I'd known I loved her)
Mmm (If I'd known I loved her)

[Verse 2]
Come back to me, baby, give me one more sleepless night
I don't want to be the rolling stone
And I'll admit when I met you, wasn't love at first sight
Oh, forgive this fool for getting it so wrong

[Chorus]
What if I'd known? (If I'd known I loved her)
What if I'd known? (If I'd known I loved her)
What if I'd known? (Oh)
Would I be so lonely (Oh)
If I'd known I loved her?

[Bridge]
I would have stayed (If I'd known I loved her)
Wouldn't make my greatest mistake (If I'd known I loved her)
Wouldn't have my heart go and break (If I'd known I loved her)
Night after night, like I can never escape, no (If I'd known I loved her)
What if I'd known? (If I'd known I loved her)
What if I'd known? (If I'd known I loved her)
Oh, what if I'd known? (Oh-oh)
Would I be so lonely
If I'd known I loved her?
[Verse 3]
I'm a little older now, and I've never lost my way
Except that one fateful morning on that one fateful day
And I've fallen down (Oh), and I can't get out

[Chorus]
What if I'd known? (If I'd known I loved her)
What if I'd known? (If I'd known I loved her)
What if I'd known? (If I'd known I loved her)
(If I'd known I loved her)

[Outro]
What if I'd known?
Would I be so lonely
If I'd known I loved her?
