Story Behind The Song

We created a character and decided to make him go through hell.

Song Description

A person leaves a lover and moves on with their lives. Later to find out that what they were looking for was there all along. Now alone, living with regret and wishing he or she had known that this decision would haunt them for the rest of their lives

Lyrics

I'm a desperate man, hoping and longing for redemption
I'm a vagabond searching for a place to call my own
High and low I've been, stuck with empty hands and cold goodbyes
I'm a fugitive running wild from my only crime.

If I only knew that I would be, chasing a ghost, lost in the sea
If I only knew that you wouldn't be a faded memory

I'm a gambling man, played my only hand and lost it all
I'm wounded soul, caught in the after glow of my demise
There's no going back, chance of taking back words and time
I'm a carousel, round and round I go not knowing why

If I only knew that I would be, chasing a ghost, lost in the sea
If I only knew that you wouldn't be a faded memory
I would have never made you cry, took your heart and said goodbye
I must have replayed it a thousand times... in my mind
If I only knew ...I'd be here without you now

My foolish heart, my foolish pride, I wanted to live so I let us die
My foolish ways, my foolish eyes couldn't see

If I only knew that I would be, chasing a ghost, lost in the sea
If I only knew that you wouldn't be a faded memory
I would have never made you cry, Took your heart and said goodbye
I must have replayed it a thousand times... in my mind
If I only knew
