a thousand hearts

you knew i would fall

before i would break

and you knew it all

all that i could take

i don't know why

i thought it was you

i'd change the hands of time

if only i knew

'cause i've seen the best and worst that's inside of me

dreams are all mixed up with reality

it could've been anyone

been anyone

a thousand hearts could've bloomed here before

you came into view and it had to be yours

and all the wasted time is reminding me of

searching for you in another's touch

but if i knew then

what i know now

then baby i swear i'd be making you proud

it's taken some time

but now i realize i'm yours

'cause if i knew then

what i know now

we'd climb to the top and we'd never look down

i was waiting for something

but it's not for nothing anymore

i was chasing a light

from a star that's out of reach

but you can't stand how i just might

not stay so weak

'cause i've seen the best and worst that's inside of me

dreams are all mixed up with reality

it could've been anyone

been anyone

a thousand hearts could've bloomed here before

you came into view and it had to be yours

and all the wasted time is reminding me of

searching for you in another's touch

but if i knew then

what i know now

then baby i swear i'd be making you proud

it's taken some time

but now i realize i'm yours

'cause if i knew then

what i know now

we'd climb to the top and we'd never look down

i was waiting for something

but it's not for nothing anymore

'cause i've seen the best and worst that's inside of me

dreams are all mixed up with reality

it could've been anyone

been anyone

a thousand hearts could've bloomed here before

you came into view and it had to be yours

and all the wasted time is reminding me of

searching for you in another's touch

but if i knew then

what i know now

then baby i swear i'd be making you proud

it's taken some time

but now i realize i'm yours

'cause if i knew then

what i know now

we'd climb to the top and we'd never look down

i was waiting for something

but it's not for nothing anymore
