If I Knew

I would've stayed past broken clocks
Said the words you never got
Laughed a little louder then
Held your face like glass to mend

If I knew the end was near
Would’ve dried your every tear
Would’ve fought to freeze the day
Wouldn’t let you drift away

If I knew you were about to die
I’d rewrite every goodbye
Shout your name into the sky
If I knew you were about to die

I’d take back every stupid fight
Hold you closer every night
Build a shelter with my hands
Find a way to change the plan

If I knew the end was near
Would’ve dried your every tear
Would’ve fought to freeze the day
Wouldn’t let you drift away

If I knew you were about to die
I’d rewrite every goodbye
Shout your name into the sky
If I knew you were about to die
