[Verse 1]
If I knew then what I know now

Every hair on my head would have stood on end

I'd make amends, I'd change somehow
Wouldn't give my heart to just anyone
If I knew then what was to come
[Bridge]
Abandon all hope, all ye who enter here
The future is dark and the way not clear
And your faith may be worse than you might fear
[Chorus]
If I knew then what I know now
I'd make amends, I'd change somehow
Wouldn't give my heart to just anyone
If I knew then what was to come
