What If?

Do you know what it's like
To wonder every day
Exactly how life would be
If things had gone your way?

A torture that my mind can't bear
Will not leave me alone
Showing me that I messed up
Left with the dial tone

I wonder what it would be like
If I had said it right
I wonder what it would be like
If you were here tonight

And now I glance at you
Find you starin' back at me
And even when you turn away
Your face is all I see
What I want to know is
If when our eyes connect
You stop and catch yourself think
What if our love you hadn't wrecked?
Cause I know that
Near every day
Those two cruel words
Make me pay
What if?
What if?

Now everything around me
Serves as a reminder
That things will never be the same
Now that you love her

I wish that you
Would just understand
All the pain and hurt I feel
Cause I can't hold your hand

I wonder what it would be like
If you had held on tight
I wonder what it would be like
If I gave up the fight

What if you kissed me when you said you would?
What if I called you when you said I could?
What if I didn't play so hard to get?
What if your excuses I hadn't accept?
What if your lies you hadn't told?
What if my heart I hadn't sold?
Who knew two words could bring despair
Thinkin' "what if" just isn't fair
Oh baby save me, take me from this place
Cause everything I see is an image of your face
Oh what if you were here?
What if I could stop these tears?
What if?
What if?

Oh baby, what if?
What if we were together?
Oh baby, please come back
Can't you see I suffer?
Oh come back
What if you came back?
Come back
Oh what if you came back?
What if...?
What if...?
