Lyrics

I never saw you again after April The ground was still covered in snow When you kissed me goodbye for the last time And I was the last one to know Well I know all about all the good things That I’m lucky to love you at all But if I would have known It was you on the phone I swear I’d have taken the call
Now I can’t erase what has happened And we can’t travel backwards in time But if I would have known You’d leave me all alone I would have remembered to cry
It was never the same after April The stars all forgot how to shine They grew foggy and they faded from my memory And I was the last one to mind They say nothing can hold on forever And it’s not even ours to ask why It was out of the blue But if I only knew I could have at least said goodbye Well it’s never the ones you see comin’ That knock you right down to your knees Instead it’s the shot that hits the blind spot That you were the last one to see And just as you fall in a pattern Just when you have found a routine Your everything shifts And skids right off a cliff Before you remember to scream Now I can’t erase what has happened And we can’t travel backwards in time But if I would have known You’d leave me all alone I would have remembered to cry Yes, I would have remembered to cry
