Song Description

Introspective. Looking back at a failed relationship. What if each had done things differently.

Lyrics

WHAT IF

What if sometimes I'd noticed when you did your hair
Sent roses and a poem that said how much I cared
What if I had opened up my heart and laid it bare
Maybe if I'd done those things the love would still be there

What if you'd been wise enough to see through my bluff
What if you had called and said I miss you oh so much
What if you had tried to sift the diamonds from the dust
Maybe if you'd done those things it would have been enough

Summer turns to autumn and flowers do not last
And since that crossroads long ago we've traveled separate paths
But when I saw you I wondered could it be true
That we're all prisoners of our fate no matter what we do

What if we had never met and touched so long ago
What if we had traveled down two different roads
What if on that summer night we'd each met someone else
Would we still be asking these same questions of ourselves
