Story Behind The Song
There were two people, male and female, who were going through some serious problems in their relationship and couldn't seem to work things out. Everything got so messed up because of a lie. Instead of finding out the facts and sticking things out, they both turned away from the relationship and now regret their decision. Things are so messed up now that it is questionable if things can be fixed. They wonder if they knew that things would be like this now, that maybe things would be a lot different.

Lyrics
Verse One:
What if we could turn back the hands of time
Do you think that we could truly define
What our love was all about
Do you think we could have worked it out
Chorus:
Cause if I knew then, what I know now
Maybe we wouldn't get lost inside a lie
If only we could have seen through the clouds
Cause if I knew then
What I know now
What I know now
Verse two:
What if the tables were turned around
Do you feel like we could have reached our height
Somehow we lost our way
We should've stuck it out for the better days
Chorus:
Cause if I knew then, what I know now
Maybe we wouldn't get lost inside a lie
If only we could have seen through the clouds
Cause if I knew then
Chorus again
I should've
Loved you more and touched you more,
Treated you better than I did
Washed the dishes fold the clothes
Showed you that you weren't alone
Respected you and not hurt you
Told you that you meant more
Never let my pride get in the way
Of how I felt about you
(Repeat 2 times)
I should have
Loved you more, loved you more
Loved you more, loved you more
Loved you more, loved you more
Loved you more, loved you more
