I I had know how to love you
With certainty
Breakfasts
All alone in bed
If I had know what to tell you
With precision
What it is that makes me die
Of uncertainty
If I had known how to love you
How one loves the things one hides
How one would like to pray
That nothing will fall apart
If had known how to write to you
Everything you need to know
I would have been better off
I would have been less cowardly
I would have refused to be wise
I would have given more
Sun to your land
If I had known
If I had seen in your face
The love and the hate it takes
If I had known, If I had known how to open your heart
If I had known how to love you
Before getting to know you
Before forgetting you
I would have lied maybe
If I had known how to lie
To lie or to disappear
To learn how to become
A woman at the window
I would have refused to be wise
I would have given more
Sun to your land
If I had known
If I had seen in your face
The love and the hate it takes
If I had known, If I had known how to open your heart
If I had seen in your face
The love and the hate it takes
If I had known, If I had known how to open your heart
If I had known how to love you
Before getting to know you
Before forgetting you
I would have burnt my letter
