How Could I Ever Know
Secret Garden Lyrics

How could I know I would have to leave you?
I had no way of predicting that circumstances would force me to separate from you.

How could I know I would hurt you so?
I never imagined that my actions or decisions would cause you pain.

You were the one I was born to love
From birth, I was destined to love you and only you.

Oh, how could I ever know?
I could never have possibly known or even imagined what would happen.

How can I say to go on without me?
It's impossible for me to ask you to continue living your life without me.

How, when I know you still need me so?
I understand that you still rely on me for support and comfort.

How can I say not to dream about me?
I don't want to deny you the comfort of dreaming about me, despite our separation.

Forgive me, can you forgive me?
I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me for any pain or hurt I've caused you.

And hold me in your heart
I want to remain in your thoughts and heart, even if we can't be physically close.

And find some new way to love me
Perhaps we can find a new way to love each other, despite our current situation.

Now that we're apart?
Now that we're separated, we need to find a way to move on while still cherishing our love for each other.

How could I know I would never hold you?
I never could have guessed that I would never be able to physically hold or touch you again.

Never again in this world
Our separation is permanent and irreversible in this lifetime.

But oh, sure as you breathe I am there inside you
Even though we're apart, my memory and love will always be present inside you.

How can I hope to go on without you?
It feels impossible to continue living my life without you by my side.

How can I know where you'd have me go?
Without you, I don't know which direction to take in my life.

How can I bear not to dream about you?
I can't bear the thought of not being able to dream about you, despite our separation.

Oh, how can I let you go?
I'm struggling to come to terms with the fact that we must let each other go.

All I need is there in the garden
Everything I need in life can be found within the beauty and simplicity of the natural world.

All I would ask is care for the child of our love
All I ask is that you continue to care for and cherish the love we created together.

Come, go with me, safe I will keep you
Let's embark on a journey together, where I promise to keep you safe and protected.

Where you would lead me, there I would
I am willing to follow you anywhere you lead me, no matter what the future holds.

There I would, there we would, there we will go
Together, we will go wherever life takes us, and we will always have each other's backs.

Oh! How could I know?
Once again, I'm struck by how unpredictable and unforeseeable life can be.

Tell me how could I know?
I long for someone to explain to me how things ended up the way they have.

Never to know you would ever leave me
I never could have imagined that you would be taken from me.

How could we ever know?
Together, we could never have predicted or foreseen what would ultimately happen to us.

How could I ever know?
Overall, I'm left questioning how I could have ever possibly known or predicted the twists and turns of life.
