A cinematic acoustic ballad that captures the ache of love lost and the beauty of having loved at all. “If I Had Known the Ending” asks a question many hearts have wrestled with: If you could see the heartbreak coming, would you still choose love?
Inspired by Garth Brooks’ “The Dance,” this song is a tender reflection on how some love stories, though short-lived, leave a permanent imprint.

???? About the Song:
The track opens with gentle, resonant piano chords layered over ambient textures, setting a somber yet reflective tone. Introspective male vocals enter, gradually joined by subtle string pads and tom-driven drums that build emotional momentum. As the song swells with layered harmonies and orchestral intensity, it climaxes before fading into a quiet, reverb-rich outro. The overall sound is cinematic, acoustic, and deeply emotive—music for memory and meaning.

???? Meaning Behind the Lyrics:
Each verse steps through moments of fragile beauty and inevitable loss. The narrator walks a path of love that was intense, imperfect, and ultimately unsustainable—but never regretted.
Lines like “I walked a road of shattered windows” and “Even sorrow carved your initials in the marrow of my heart” capture the poetic duality of passion and pain.

The chorus, repeated like a mantra, echoes the heart of “The Dance”: Even knowing the heartbreak, I’d still choose you. It’s about honoring the full spectrum of love—not just the joy, but the grief too.

???? For anyone who’s loved deeply, and wouldn’t take it back.
Whether you're reflecting on someone who left or something that ended, this is a song that sees you.
