I Didn't Know
Skinshape Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could've been there but now it's too late
We're only here for an hour, you won't know 'till its gone
Try to find the best, I know you
I didn't know that you would leave so soon
I could've tried a little harder to make you smile once more
One day I'll come to find you, wherever you may be
If only time was kinder, you would still be here
The lyrics to Skinshape's song, "I Didn't Know" convey a sense of regret and longing for what could have been. The singer laments not knowing about "those other things" and missing the opportunity to be there for someone. The lyrics also touch on the fleeting nature of life and how we often don't appreciate it until it's gone. The singer implores the listener to recognize and cherish the good in their life, to try to find the best despite the hardships. The chorus speaks to the sudden loss of someone close and the wish for more time with that person. The final line, "If only time was kinder, you would still be here," encapsulates the heartache and the hope for what could have been.
The song itself has a dreamy, mellow quality that enhances the feeling of longing and introspection. The simple instrumentation and melody allow the lyrics to take center stage and hit home with the listener. The repetition of the chorus throughout the song reinforces the message and emotion of the lyrics.

Lyrics:
I didn't know about those other things
I could've been there but now it's too late
But only here for one hour, we won't know till it's gone
Try to find the best, I know you
I didn't know that you would leave so soon
I'd have tried a little harder to make you smile once more
One day I'll come to find you, wherever you may be
Only time was kinder, you would still be here

Here's the lyrics for you guys:
I didn't know about those other things
I could've been there, but now it's too late
We're only here for one hour, we won't know untill it's gone
Try to find the best, I know you
I didn't know, that you would leave so soon
I didn't try a little harder, to make you smile once more
One day I'll come to find you, wherever you may be
If only time was kinder, you would still be here
