If I had known

I see your shadow in the corridors,
Your gentle face through the mirror.
I’ve counted the seconds since you left.
 
If I had known how to love you, Hannah,
If I had known to stay by your side,
If I had known how to love you, if I had tried,
You would be here.
If I had known how to save a piece of you,
If I had known to give you all I had in me,
If I had known how to love you, if I had tried,
You’d be here.
 
I hear your laughter against the walls,
Your beautiful smile used to heal my wounds.
I tried to write our future.
 
If I had known how to love you, Hannah,
If I had known to stay by your side,
If I had known how to love you, if I had tried,
You would be here.
If I had known how to save a piece of you,
If I had known to give you all I had in me,
If I had known how to love you, if I had tried,
You’d be here.
 
I imagine your eyes on me.
When night comes I listen to your voice.
I want to believe in it for one last time.
 
If I had known how to love you, Hannah,
If I had known to stay by your side,
If I had known how to love you, if I had tried,
You would be here.
If I had known how to save a piece of you,
If I had known to give you all I had in me,
If I had known how to love you, if I had tried,
You’d be here.
