I should have seen the writings on, on the wall That we were drawing near the close of our story You were incapable of love until the end If I hadn't known this from the start Then I wouldn't have this broken heart But I wouldn't have these memories in my mind Of the times I had with you, no, no When we made love the skies would pause for us And every time we kissed the stars would bow before us But this pretty picture that I draw doesn't matter to you at all If I hadn't known this from the start Then I wouldn't have this broken heart And I wouldn't have these memories in my mind Of the times I had with you For every bitter argument On my heart remains your tender fingerprints And even though our footsteps wash away As tides of change come rolling in, I still contend (If I hadn't known this from the start) Oh, then I wouldn't have this broken heart (But I wouldn't have these memories) Oh no, oh, in my mind Of the times I shared with you (If I hadn't known this from the start) If I hadn't known (I wouldn't have this broken heart) I wouldn't have Oh, but I wouldn't have these memories in my mind Of the times I had with you, yeah If I hadn't known this from the start I wouldn't have this broken heart Oh, but I wouldn't have these memories in my mind Of the times I had with you
