If I had known that my honesty
Would come back at me in lies
If I'd known caring was such a sin
Would I have even tried?
If I'd known you would ignore me
Not matter what I said
If I'd known that I'd never get
What goes on inside your head
If I'd known that confiding
In you would be so tough
If I'd known that reasoning
With you would be so rough
If I'd known you could avoid me
Without a second blink
If I'd known that you'd always be
Narrow in how you think
If I'd known the real you before
I defended you so many times
If I'd known you'd never read
My silly little rhymes
If I'd known I never meant as much
To you as you did to me
If I'd known that even if I jumped madly up and down
You were never gonna see
If I'd known it didn't matter
How many times I cried
If I'd known you were ignoring me
No matter how hard I tried
If I'd known how much it would
Hurt me to fight with you
If I'd known I had to be
More careful what I do
If I'd known you were so sensitive
And you told me how you felt
If I'd known the sorta shit
With which I'd be pelt
If I'd known any of this stuff
I wouldn't change a thing
Cuz I can't change how I feel
Sorry...
