lyrics

Verse 1
You were just scrambling in the dark - tryin’ to find someone to hold your heart
And I was full of blunders from the start
You just never know. But how can you know?
Until it’s all been said and done. Now you’ve decided I can’t be the one
A role I never figured out. Oh, but I know what I’d do now

Chorus
Why didn’t I then? Why didn’t I then?
Hey I could have been everything, everything.
Why didn’t I know? Why didn’t I know?
If I could have known, from the start, everything
Hey I would give anything.

Verse 2
It doesn’t matter who you are - we’re all just scrambling in the dark
Trying to be experts from the start
As if we should know. But how can we know?
When we come in an empty slate. To be written upon by the hands of fate
Hands never faced with the task of having to ask

Chorus
Why didn’t I then? Why didn’t I then?
Hey I could have been everything, everything.
Why didn’t I know? Why didn’t I know?
If I could have known, from the start, everything
Hey I would give anything.

SOLO

Chorus
Why didn’t I then? Why didn’t I then?
Hey I could have been everything, everything.
Why didn’t I know? Why didn’t I know?
If I could have known, from the start, everything
If only I’d known, from the start, everything
Hey I would give anything.
