How could I know I would have to leave you?
How could I know I would hurt you so?
You were the one I was born
To love
Oh, how could I ever know?
How could I ever know?

How can I say to go without me?
How, when I know you still need me so?
How can I say not to dream about me?
How could I ever know?
How could I ever know?

Forgive me, can you forgive me?
And hold me in your heart?
And find some new way to love me
Now that we're apart?

How could I know I would never hold you?
Never again in this world?
But, oh
Sure as you breathe
I am there inside you
Ho-o-o-ow
Could I ever know?
How could I ever know?
