Had I known I'd feel this

I wouldn't have started

I wouldn't have put myself

In such an unsettling position

Had I known he'd walk away

I would've grabbed on tighter

Pulled him back with all my might

And confessed with all honesty

Had I known I'd fall deeper

I could've locked myself in

Shut myself out from society

And talked to my inner self

Had I known I'd hurt this much

I would've run away

Turned my back against it all

Started anew in a distant land

But I did not know

And he did not tell me

So I trusted him and

Let him break me

The lies he told

Right in my face

Shot through my heart

Like an arrow ablaze

And I did not know

If only, I had known
