The What Ifs

Verse 1
You know I miss the city
But it just wasn’t right for me
I had every intention to stay
But it didn’t go my way
And that’s just how it goes some days
And the what-ifs could kill me
Like the cat and curiosity
But I try to look at it
From another perspective, babe

Chorus
If I had stayed
Would we have worked it out?
If I hadn’t run away
Could we have figured it out somehow?
Hypothetically
If I asked you
Was there a possibility
If we saw it through?
But that’s no way to live
Putting all my bets
On the what-ifs

Verse 2
So I packed my bags
Tucked my tail between my legs
Came back to the “I told you so’s”
And the “you should have knowns”
That’s just how it goes some days
But the what-ifs remain
Face to face with the pain
Not of missing you
But the failure, babe

Chorus
If I had stayed
Would we have worked it out?
If I hadn’t run away
Could we have figured it out somehow?
Hypothetically
If I asked you
Was there a possibility
If we saw it through?
But that’s no way to live
Putting all my bets
On the what-ifs

Bridge
Was it against all odds
Or was it all a mistake?
I can’t keep wondering
About the what-ifs, babe

Final Chorus
If I had stayed
Would we have worked it out?
If I hadn’t run away
Could we have figured it out somehow?
Hypothetically
If I asked you
Was there a possibility
If we saw it through?
But that’s no way to live
Putting all my bets
On the what-ifs
