If I only knew what I know
I would not have done what I did
You said all along I was wrong
But I went and did it anyway Yes I went
And did it anyway
But if only
You should listen
But if only
Stop and think
I was in control
So I thought
With a foolproof plan what a joke
Proving what a fool I can be
As it all exploded in my face
Whatever made me do it anyway
But if only
Time's a wasting
But if only
Just move on
But if only
No use chasing
But if only
What is gone
Oh you sentimental fool
You're finding out life can be cruel
You cannot bend the rules
Oh you sentimental fool
You find some coal and think that you'll
Create a precious jewel
You sentimental fool
But if only
Something ventured
But if only
Nothing gained
But if only
You were captured
But if only
By your game
Oh you temperamental fool
You've got to keep your engine cool
You're burning too much fuel
Oh you temperamental fool
You think you'll find somebody who'll
Be warm when you are cool
You temperamental fool
Picking myself up off the ground
Everybody knows how that feels
To be wrong again as I know I will
It really doesn't matter anyway
But if only
Time's a wasting
But if only
Just move on
But if only
No use chasing
But if only
What is gone
But if only
Catching rainbows
Can't be done
But if only
Fleeting haloes
Of the sun
