If i only i knew you were coming I wouldn't be here.. vs If only I knew you were coming I shouldn't be here.

The correct phrase is "If only I knew you were coming, I wouldn't be here." The phrase is used to express regret or surprise about a situation. The second phrase is incorrect because it uses "shouldn't" instead of "wouldn't," which changes the meaning of the sentence.
