If I never knew you; if we'd never met
I wouldn't feel this low now, so far beneath my best.
I wouldn't be heartbroken, I wouldn't need to cry,
I wouldn't feel the pain from having to say goodbye.
If I never knew you; if we'd never been
The lovers that we were then I'd never have seen
Your smile in the morning, the way you looked at me
And I would still not know just how good life could be.
I'm not sorry I loved you,
I'm just sorry it's done.
I thought that in you I'd found
Who I could call The One.
If I never knew you I wouldn't know this pain
Or wonder what it's going to take for me to smile again,
But I'd have never held you, or felt your perfect kiss.
For all those wondrous moments, the price I pay is this.
You showed me such love
But after such highs
The lows that will follow
Are so magnified.
