What If

Last night your name came up in conversation
They were telling me you'd found love in a new location
And I swear my mind went through the time when you and I got faded
And I promised you we'd make it
Fast forward two years and we were over
Ooh, went to the airport when I know I should've drove you
Later on I'd tell myself that breaking up was worth it
But deep down I'm still uncertain
What if, if we never let it go
What if, we were way too young to know
What it was, us just chilling like before
Tell me, wasn't that enough?
What if, if you left that night
What if, I never let you board that flight
What if you, if you could only read my mind
Maybe we'd still be in love
Last night your name came up in conversation everybody singing these praises
They screaming: Dude, you dating
And I'm over you, but I had a few so it's probably true, I was faded
But damn it, I just could not take it
I remember things were so good when you were with me
But then I went and broke your heart so bad you moved up out the city
No hating, I'm so glad that you're so happy now
But I wonder, do you ever think about
What if, if we never let it go
What if, we were way too young to know
What it was, us just chilling like before
Tell me, wasn't that enough?
What if, if you left that night
What if, I never let you board that flight
What if you, if you could only read my mind
Maybe we'd still be in love
What if, ooh we never let it go
What if, we were just too young to know
What it was, just chilling like before
Wasn't that enough? Hey, yeah
What if, if you left that night
What if, I never let you board that flight
What if you, if you could only read my mind
Maybe we'd still be in love
