If Only I Knew
Discovering Love's Lessons: If Only I Knew by Sarina Haggarty
Lyrics
They say that you should learn from your mistakes
Acknowledging the advice to learn from past errors.
Taking chances trying find my way
Embracing risks in an attempt to discover one's path.
To open up my heart and be vulnerable
Being willing to be emotionally open and exposed.
Holding back but I let go
Initially restraining oneself but eventually releasing inhibitions.
If I only knew back then
Expressing a desire for knowledge or awareness in the past.
All that I know right now
Reflecting on current knowledge and understanding.
I wouldn't have left this town and changed my dreams
Regretting leaving a place and altering aspirations.
All them late night tears
Referencing emotional distress experienced late at night.
All of the guilt I felt
Describing a sense of responsibility and remorse.
You made it feel like it was all my fault
Feeling blamed for a situation due to someone else's influence.
You always said we'd get through anything
Recalling reassurances about overcoming challenges together.
So why did you get scared and run away
Questioning why the person departed despite promises.
I never pictured packing up and leavinng this place
Expressing disbelief at leaving a familiar place.
I'm over this, got nothing left to say
Reaching a point of emotional exhaustion and having nothing more to say.
If I only knew back then
Reiterating the desire for past knowledge with present awareness.
All that I know right now
Reflecting on current understanding compared to the past.
I wouldn't have left this town and changed my dreams
Expressing regret for leaving and altering life's aspirations.
All them late night tears
Reiterating emotional distress experienced late at night.
All of the guilt I felt
Describing a sense of responsibility and remorse (repeated).
You made it feel like it was all my fault
Feeling blamed for a situation due to someone else's influence (repeated).
You never tried, it was always a iie, If only I knew
Highlighting someone's lack of effort and frequent deception.
If only you knew too
Wishing for mutual awareness and understanding.
If you only learned one thing from knowing me
Encouraging the person to learn a significant lesson from the relationship.
Learn to love with your heart out on your sleeve
Advising to love openly and wholeheartedly.
