How Could I Have Known

How could I have known
 You were the one for me?
 How could I've known
 You were the air I breathe
 If I don't believe in love?
 How was I to know
 I couldn't live without
 Your arms around me?
 If you'd only come back now
 I'd not let you down again
 And how could you allow
 Allow me to love you so?
 How cruel a thing
 If you'd only hold me close
 I'd not let you go again
 Guess I could have been
 A better man
 I should have held onto your coat
 But how could I've know?
 And now looking back
 Should have been on my knees
 But I can be cold
 Should have said, "Stay with me"
 "Please don't leave me alone"
 And those other girls
 They never made feel
 The way I do now
 Know that our love was real
 But I broke the deal
 And now...
 I'm out in the the cold
 Baby come home be close
 Please don't let me drown
 Woman I love the most
 My holy ghost, goddamn
 Guess I could have tried
 A little harder
 I see comfort in being alone
 How could I have known?
