Shana Halligan If I Knew Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sitting at the bus stop
Big, blue limousine
I look at my reflection
But I don't see a thing
One too many taps
And swallowed up my dreams
I run in circles chasing
That girl I hoped I'd be

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, another day
Swimming me upstream
Teaching me to believe
Oh, is it ever gonna change?
Is it ever gonna be?
Why do I pretend to love?
Why do I pretend to see?

[Chorus]
If I knew then what I know now
Would I have done it any differently?
If I knew then what I know now
Could I have made you proud?
Could I have made you proud?

[Verse 2]
Looking at the past
Remembering the days
Where all I had to do was
Kick back and find my way
Growing up too fast and
Bottled up my faith
Too many broken lovers Too many walks of shame

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, my great dispute
Covering up my truths
Do as I say, not do
But it's never gonna change
It's never gonna be
Why do I pretend to love?
Why do I pretend to see?

[Chorus]
If I knew then what I know now
Would I have done it any differently?
If I knew then what I know now
Could I have made you proud?
Could I have made you proud?

[Bridge]
Picking up the pieces
Desperate for days
A mother who could show me
A better life to make
Oh, and now I could change
The woman I could be
I deserve to feel love
Here I am, give in to me

[Chorus]
If I knew then what I know now
Would I have done it any differently?
If I knew then what I know now
Could I have made you proud?
