How I Could Have Loved You

I shouted out long ago
how can I be there for you, how can I understand
the answer in a lost echo
finally found me, it just took ten years or so

Here I am and the one I love
has no idea how to take care of me
you should see the lesson learned
and the poetry of tables turned

I know now how I could have loved you then
I know now how I could have loved you then

Funny thing, history
you think you rise above it and then you hear it laughing
in another life this was you and me
and you were needing something I was yet to be

And here I am and the one I love
has no idea that I'm thinking of
a time with you in a younger day
when I had no clue what to do or say

Oh but I know now how I could've loved you then
I know now how I could have loved you then

I know now, I know how
how I could've loved you
how I could've loved you then

I picture you with a knowing smile
unamazed that I took a while
just had to wear your shoes and walk a mile

To know how, how I could have loved you then
oh but I know now how I could've loved you then
