Lyrics:

Looking back

Looking back at the past and what we had, oh

And I hate the fact

We can't turn back 'cause what I did hurt you bad, oh

And I know that I did you wrong

Know that I led you on

Know that I did you wrong (did you wrong, did you wrong)

But I was runnin' blind

And I wish I took the time

To really ask you how you feel

So tell me now

How will I know if you really love me?

I say a prayer with every heartbeat

I fall in love whenever we meet

How will I know?

How will I know?

How will I know?

How will I know?

How will I know?

How will I know?

Every night

I'm runnin' wild to heal the scars and clear my mind

Oh, yeah

But it's hard to find

The space I need to contemplate that you're not mine

Anymore

And I know that I did you wrong

Know that I led you on

Know that I did you wrong (did you wrong, did you wrong)

But I was runnin' blind

And I wish I took the time

To really ask you how you feel

So tell me now

How will I know if you really love me?

I say a prayer with every heartbeat

I fall in love whenever we meet

How will I know? (How will I know?)

How will I know?

How will I know?

How will I know?

How will I know?

How will I know?

Oh, can you tell me?

I need to know, I need to know

How will I know if you really love me?

How will I know?

How will I know?

How will I know if you really love me?

I say a prayer with every heartbeat

I fall in love whenever we meet

How will I know? (How will I know?)

How will I know?

Songwriter:

How will I know if you really love me?

I say a prayer with every heartbeat

I fall in love whenever we meet

How will I know? (How will I know?)

How will I know?
