If I Knew Then - Lady Antebellum

A beating heart gets thrown out of a car in the dark I find it and I check it for scars and make sure it's clean Then I go back inside 'cause there's nothing for us here in the night Just a helicopter buzzing nearby, ruining my sleep But I can feel a strong vibration when I look at you, you Everybody knows my failures, well I know theirs too, too Is this what it takes; what it takes to be impossibly great? 'Cause if it is then I think maybe the less, the less The less I knew the better Please just be kind when I drag myself out on through the line 'Cause in the end I think that maybe the less, the less The less I knew the better Now that heart and me At first we get on so splendidly And we called you but you never seemed free So we just drove around for a while But then the poetry of silence It has this way of catching me and that heart And it rises to tell us that all of this is grief And everything we love is a shame So I open up my window and I throw that heart through, through Now everybody knows my failures, well I know theirs too, too So is this what it takes; what it takes to be supposedly great? 'Cause if it is then I think maybe the less, the less The less I knew the better Please just be kind when I drag myself out onto the night 'Cause in the end I think that maybe the less, the less The less I knew the better The less I knew the better Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

You should've been there Should've burst through the door With that "Baby, I'm right here" smile And it would've felt like A million little shining stars had just aligned And I would've been so happy Christmas lights glisten I've got my eye on the door Just waiting for you to walk in But the time is ticking People ask me how I've been As I comb back through my memory How you said you'd be here? You said you'd be here And it was like slow motion Standing there in my party dress In red lipstick With no one to impress And they're all laughing As I'm looking around the room But there was one thing missing And that was the moment I knew And the hours pass by Now I just wanna be alone But your close friends always seem to know When there's something really wrong So they follow me down the hall And there in the bathroom I try not to fall apart And the sinking feeling starts As I say hopelessly "He said he'd be here" And it was like slow motion Standing there in my party dress In red lipstick With no one to impress And they're all laughing And asking me about you But there was one thing missing And that was the moment I knew What do you say? When tears are streaming down your face In front of everyone you know And what do you do? When the one who means the most to you Is the one who didn't show? You should've been here And I would've been so happy And it was like slow motion Standing there in my party dress In red lipstick With no one to impress And they're all standing around me singing "Happy Birthday to you" But there was one thing missing And that was the moment I knew Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, I knew Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh You called me later And said, "I'm sorry, I didn't make it" And I said, "I'm sorry too" And that was the moment I knew

You're the best friend of my life The rib on my side The peace in my mind The pleasure in my body My body I'm the light to your fire Your deepest desire The truth to your liar But still you don't want me And I don't want you But maybe I do If I call now would you pick it up I'm breaking down can you pick it up But you don't answer You always answer I'm drinking wine looking at my phone While you're inside her I'm here all alone I don't want this I'm better than this Call me your person I called you mine too Even though I'm whole now I'm still scared to lose Cause I was lost before you And you were lost too And I keep going in and out of being mad at you Even though I know the deal I wrote that shit with you And we both signed it Souls aligned and everything If I call now would you pick it up I'm breaking down can you pick it up But you don't answer You always answer I'm drinking wine looking at my phone While you're inside her I'm here all alone I don't want this I'm better than this When I needed you to cry on You found someone else to lie on Trusting you, I'd have put my life on Guess I wouldn't have survived long Now I don't know who you are Don't know if I care It's just messed up I thought you'd be there When I needed you to cry on You found someone else to lie on If I call now would you pick it up I'm breaking down can you pick it up But you don't answer You always answer I'm drinking wine looking at my phone While you're inside her I'm here all alone I don't want this I'm better than this Oh yeah I'm better than this Oh I'm better than this Yeah I'm better than this I'm better than this

Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago I was in your sights, you got me alone You found me, you found me, you found me I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that And when I fell hard, you took a step back Without me, without me, without me And he's long gone when he's next to me And I realize the blame is on me 'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in So shame on me now Flew me to places I'd never been 'Til you put me down, oh I knew you were trouble when you walked in So, shame on me now Flew me to places I'd never been Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground Oh, oh (trouble, trouble, trouble) Oh, oh (trouble, trouble, trouble) No apologies, he'll never see you cry Pretends he doesn't know that he's the reason why You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning-ing-ing-ing-ing And I heard you moved on from whispers on the street A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be And now I see, now I see, now I see He was long gone when he met me And I realize the joke is on me, yeah I knew you were trouble when you walked in (oh) So, shame on me now Flew me to places I'd never been 'Til you put me down, oh I knew you were trouble when you walked in So shame on me now Flew me to places I'd never been (yeah) Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground Oh, oh, yeah (trouble, trouble, trouble) Oh, oh (trouble, trouble, trouble) And the saddest fear comes creeping in That you never loved me or her, or anyone, or anything, yeah I knew you were trouble when you walked in So, shame on me now Flew me to places I'd never been (never been) 'Til you put me down, oh I knew you were trouble when you walked in (knew it right there) So, shame on me now (knew it right there) Flew me to places I'd never been (ooh) Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground Oh, oh (trouble, trouble, trouble) Oh, oh (trouble, trouble, trouble) I knew you were trouble when you walked in (trouble, trouble, trouble) I knew you were trouble when you walked in (trouble, trouble, trouble)

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe, you belong with me? You belong with me
