What If?

What if I followed my heart and said,
Something that someday I might regret?
There's so many who have done what I have to do,
But I'm not sure I can if it's going to hurt you.

What if I end up like them one day,
Missing you without the chance to say,
I'm sorry, I take back what I said,
I only wish I'd said it before you were...

I don't want to live my life,
Regretting one mistake,
But it's a big decision,
I've got to make.

Or I could keep things the same,
Can I put myself through it all again?
Can I live my life knowing it's fake?
Or would that be the biggest mistake?

What if you do something that can't be forgiven,
If you did would my life be worth living?
Could I live with the pain it would put me through,
If you did what I fear you might go and do?

I don't want to live my life,
Knowing it could be different,
Knowing if I'd made another choice,
I would have lived a life well spent.

A fourteen year old must make this choice,
Without any help at all,
There'll be no one to blame but herself,
If this choice leads to her downfall.
