"What If" lyrics

No, no, no, no
I know I can't change the past, but
I can't help but think of the past, 'cause
It's all that I have that's left of us

No, no, no, no
I know I can't take it backward
I never told you that, never
If I could, I would've spoken up

And told you how I really feel about you
I guess somebody else had thought of that too
Now you're in love and I'm alone, wonderin'

What if the best thing that I never had
Was you inside my arms?
What if the worst thing that I ever did
Was holdin' back my heart?
What if I find out in the end
I played all my cards wrong?
What if the only one I, only one I love
Is already gone?

What if? What if?
What if I waited too long?
What if? What if?
What if the one for me is gone?

It's stupid I'm still simpin', but
I hope he holds you like I would
And tells you all of the things I never could

Oh, I'm sure there's someone better out there for me
I wish that I could say that confidently
But you're in love and I'm alone, wonderin'

What if the best thing that I never had
Was you inside my arms?
What if the worst thing that I ever did
Was holdin' back my heart?
What if I find out in the end
I played all my cards wrong?
What if the only one I, only one I love
Is already gone?

What if? What if?
What if I waited too long?
What if? What if?
What if the one for me is gone?
What if the one for me is gone?
Mm

What if the best thing that I never said
Is, "Will you please be mine?"
What if the worst thing that I ever did
Was leavin' you behind?
What if I find out in the end
I wasted all this time?
And the only one I, only one I love
Was right in front of my eyes
