If I Knew
Unforeseen Heartbreak: Megan Wilder's 'If I Knew' Reveals Love's Hidden Challenges
Lyrics
What if we never met that night out at that dive bar
Contemplating the possibility of never meeting at a particular dive bar
What if when I looked in your eyes
Imagining not feeling an intense connection or attraction upon looking into the eyes
I didn't see stars
Questioning the absence of a profound feeling or chemistry (symbolized by seeing stars)
What if tequila didn't make me such a try hard
Considering how alcohol-induced confidence might have altered behavior
I wouldn't be here
Reflecting on the current situation, possibly regretting being in it
Wishing we still had it
Desiring to still possess the relationship or feelings from the past
Sifting through the ashes
Metaphorically sorting through the aftermath of a breakup or loss
Retracing steps to try to figure out what happened
Trying to understand the sequence of events that led to the breakup
Looking for a reason
Seeking a rationale or explanation for the relationship's demise
Picking up the pieces
Attempting to recover from the emotional fallout and move forward
You said forever then decided you didn't mean it
Recalling a promise of eternal commitment that was later retracted
Oh I don't know if I'd have loved you after all
Uncertainty about whether love would have developed under different circumstances
If I knew how hard I'd fall
Wondering about the depth of emotional impact and vulnerability
What if I told you I'd go with you to that party
Considering an alternative decision regarding attending a party together
What if you never saw your ex down in the lobby
Contemplating an alternate scenario where an ex-partner isn't encountered
What if I had a better face
Reflecting on potential insecurities about physical appearance
A better body
Questioning if a different appearance would have impacted the relationship
Would I still be here
Speculating about the continuation of the relationship under different circumstances
Wishing we still had it
Reiteration of the desire to understand and potentially change the course of events
Sifting through the ashes
-Retracing steps to try to figure out what happened
-Looking for a reason
-Picking up the pieces
-You said forever then decided you didn't mean it
-Oh I don't know if I'd have loved you after all
-If I knew how hard I'd fall
-Would I run like hell
-Before it all fell apart
-Out of the palm of your hand
-So you'd never break my heart
-Or would I give it away
-And love you anyway
-Knowing that someday
-Oh I'd be wishing you still had it
-Sifting through the ashes
-Retracing steps to try to figure out what happened
-Looking for a reason
-Picking up the pieces
-You said forever then decided you didn't mean it
-Oh I don't know if I'd have loved you after all
-No I don't know if I'd have loved you after all
-If I knew how hard I'd fall
Reflecting on the unforeseen intensity of emotional pain resulting from the breakup
