How could I have known
You were the one for me?
How could I have known
You were the air I breathe
If I don't believe in love?
How was I to know
I couldn't live without
Your arms around me?
If you'd only come back now
I'd not let you down again
And how could you allow
One little love you saw?
How could I think
If you'd only hold me close
I'd not let you go again?
Guess I coulda been
A better man
I should have held onto your coat
But how could I've known?
And now looking back
Should have been on my knees
But I can be cold
Shoulda said "Stay with me
Please don't leave me alone"
And those other girls
They never made me feel
The way I do now
Know that our love was real
But I broke the deal
And now...
I'm out in the cold
Baby come hold me close
Please don't let me drown
Woman I love the most
My holy ghost
Goddamn
Guess I could have tried
A little harder
I see comfort in being alone
How could I have known?
