I just got the letter that you sent
The one that said how much you cared but the love just had to end
I kept thinking there was some mistake, I reread it a hundred times
But the letter always ended with you telling me goodbye

I kept thinking about the last time I held you near
The love just seemed so strong, the future seemed so clear
I never saw it coming, that you were gonna leave
And there would be no more of us, there would just be me

Chorus:
If I had only known, that you were gonna say good-bye
The last time that I held you I would have never let you go
And the last time that we kissed, I would have made it last forever
But now I face forever all alone, If I had only known

I tried to call to try to understand
But I didn’t know what to say and put the phone back on the stand
I wish I knew just what to do to hold you once again
And then make sure the moment would never end

Chorus:
If I had only known, that you were gonna say good-bye
The last time that I held you I would have never let you go
And the last time that we kissed, I would have made it last forever
But now I face forever all alone, If I had only known

Bridge:
I keep thinking if somehow I could go back to yesterday
To the last that I kissed you, you would never go away

Chorus:
If I had only known, that you were gonna say good-bye
The last time that I held you I would have never let you go
And the last time that we kissed, I would have made it last forever
But now I face forever all alone, If I had only known
