So many people never see the warning signs until it is too late. I wrote this as a warning sign to myself.

If Only He Had Known

© 2006 Marvin Lane

Verse I:
Well, he tried to be a good man,
But again he failed the test.
He wasn’t what she needed.
He didn’t try his best.
He thought he had the answers.
He thought his love he’d shown.
But now his arms are empty.
If only he had known.

Chorus:
If only he had known,
He would have seen the light.
He’d see he was the problem,
The reason why they’d fight.
Now that she’s left him,
Standing all alone.
He’d find a solution.
If only he head known.
If only he had known.

Verse II:
She gave him many chances,
Many more than he deserves.
She never tried to change him.
It was he that she would serve.
He would never listen.
He had a heart of stone.
She needed his assistance.
If only he had known.

Repeat Chorus.

Bridge:
Well, now that she’s left him he’s started a new life.
She said she’ll always love him, but she couldn’t be his wife.
He had too many problems she wished he had outgrown.
He never took the action. If only he had known.

Repeat Chorus.
