If I Knew

If I knew the damage that you'd do If I knew the people that I'd lose If I knew the hell that I'd go through If I knew the ways that I'd be used If I knew you'd have me wrapped around your finger The day I met you, wearin' those alligator shoes If I knew that not a day would go by Where I wouldn't choose you I would have loved you anyway I would have loved you anyway I would have loved you anyway I would have loved you anyway If I knew it would take me seven years To stand up to you and finally make a move If I knew I would move mountains and swim oceans Just to drown again every time I saw you I would have loved you anyway I would have loved you anyway I would have loved you anyway I would have loved you anyway I could never change the path that's been paved So many common mistakes have been made One thing that I know to be true Even if I knew, I'd still choose you If I knew through the ups and downs I'd never give up on you If I knew I'd put on my suit of armor and I'd fight for you I'm gonna love you anyway I'm gonna love you anyway I'm gonna love you anyway I'm gonna love you anyway Even if I knew, I'd still choose you Even if I knew, I'd still choose you
