Lyrics

How Could I Have Known

How could I have known
You were the one for me?
How could I've 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
Allow me to love you so?
How cruel a thing
If you'd only hold me close
I'd not let you go again

Guess I could have been
A better man
I should have held onto your coat
But how could I've know?

And now looking back
Should have been on my knees
But I can be cold
Should have said, "Stay with me"
"Please don't leave me alone"

And those other girls
They never made feel
The way I do now
Know that our love was real
But I broke the deal
And now...

I'm out in the the cold
Baby come home be 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?
