Had I Known

Had I known it would be so hard
To fall for someone so irrevocably
I'm sure my heart would be barred
As it is already apt to be

Had I known that love can hurt
I may not have ever dared to fall
For that boy and his adorable smirk
Or even anyone else at all

Had I known that it would end
As painfully as it has done
I don't think I would depend
On another after he'd gone

Had I known that love can hurt
I don't think I'd have had the courage
To tell him how I really felt
And wait for all the wreckage

Had I known, had I known
I'd wish I'd never fall again
That I could remain alone
Although my heart was breaking

Now, although I know I cannot fall
I know when I do, it will be the hardest of all.
