Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Feeling the remnants, gone in an instant
Blink of an eye, no goodbye
I had a notion, deep as the ocean
Blue like the sky, oh my
[PreChorus]
Like a permanent stain, wishing I could just wash away, away
Hate our love was in vain
Who was to blame for all the pain?
For all the pain
[Chorus]
If I would've known, if I would've known
If I would have known, it could have been you
If I had the chance, if I had the chance, I'd make us brand new
I never wanted to be, wanted to be your enemy
Whoa, no, but if I, if I would've known
If I would have known, it could have been you, been you
[Verse 2]
The repercussions of missing your loving
Haunts me at night, the ghost of a life
All of the memories
Of serenity, dwindle in my mind
All the time
[PreChorus]
Like a permanent stain, wishing I could just wash away, away
Hate our love was in vain
Who was to blame for all the pain?
For all the pain?
[Chorus]
If I would've known, if I would've known
If I would have known, it could have been you
If I had the chance, if I had the chance, I'd make us brand new
I never wanted to be, wanted to be your enemy
Whoa, no, but if I, if I would've known
If I would have known, it could have been you, been you
[Chorus]
If I would've known, if I would've known
If I would have known, it could have been you
If I had the chance, if I had the chance, I'd make us brand new
I never wanted to be, wanted to be your enemy
Whoa, no, but if I, if I would've known
If I would have known, it could have been you, been you
