What If
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What if I said I'm sorry.
What if I said yes instead of maybe.
If I would have listened just a little bit,
Could you still be here.
(Verse 1)
I hope you got my letter, it's been such a long time.
Cause in it I said things I never said before, before.
I'm doing so much better, but still wondering why,
You left me here, don't know where you are no more (no no no).
(Chorus)
What if I said I'm sorry.
What if I said yes instead of maybe.
If I would have listened just a little bit,
Could you still be here.
Never got to say goodbye to you.
And it don't matter what I do now,
I always wonder, what if?
Yea yea I wonder what if? no no no
(Verse 2)
Thought everything was alright, but I guess I was wrong (I guess that I was wrong).
Wish that I could see what was going through your mind.
Baby wasn't I good to you, if I wasn't, wish that I knew.
Cause I wanted you to be the real thing.
Thought you were the real thing, yeah.
(Chorus)
What if I said I'm sorry.
What if I said yes instead of maybe.
If I would have listened just a little bit,
Could you still be here.
Never got to say goodbye to you.
And it don't matter what I do now,
I always wonder, what if?
Yea yea I wonder what if? Oh no no no
Wonder if I crossed your mind.
Don't you think about me sometimes.
Oh where are you now?
(Chorus x2 + Adlibs)
What if I said I'm sorry.
What if I said yes instead of maybe.
If I would have listened just a little bit,
Could you still be here.
Never got to say goodbye to you.
And it don't matter what I do now,
I always wonder, what if?
Would you still be here, tell me would you still be here.
(Ooh I miss you so much)
Would you still be here, tell me would you still be here.
(If I listened to you)
Would you still be here, tell me would you still be here.
(Would you still be here with me)
Would you still be here, tell me would you still be here.
