The What Ifs

The what ifs are my down fall
That keep me up at night
They seep slowly into my mind
There's no way this can come out right

The what ifs are my worse enemy
That cause me to second guess
Does he really truly love me
Or will I be left feeling distressed

The what ifs are my pain
I can't seem to make up my mind
Back and forth back and Forth
There's no looking back this time

How do I know we're meant to be
If we both keep endin up hurt
How do I know if I should put forth effort
If in the end it's not going to work

How do I choose happiness
When all I know is pain
What if he loves me now but then not later
What is there to be gained.

So yes, the what ifs are my nightmares
All the sweet dreams have faded away
What if what if what if
What if he leaves... But what if he stays?
