"The Butterfly Effect" lyrics

I don't want to live my life
Thinking 'bout what could've been
I don't want to be that guy getting by on the high of way back when
Looking for a sign, a sign of something
So I won't ask why
But I wonder sometimes

What if I quit? What if I stayed?
What if I laid right down in the mess I made?
When I knew that it wasn't right
Where would I land? What would I lose?
Who would I be if not here next to you?
How would I change the course of time?

Like a butterfly
What if I? What if I?
Like a butterfly
What if I?
What if I?

If I could go back
I'd do it all the same
I've heard that if you change something small
You can start a hurricane
And blow it all away (Ooo)
Like you were never mine
And I wonder sometimes

What if I quit? What if I stayed?
What if I laid right down in the mess I made?
When I knew that it wasn't right
Where would I land?
What would I lose?
Who would I be if not here next to you?
How would I change the course of time?

Like a butterfly
What if I?
What if I? Like a butterfly
What if I? What if I?
Like a butterfly
What if I? What if I?
Like a butterfly
What if I? What if I?

Out here asking questions
When the answer's in the gray
I'll let it all float away
Like a butterfly

What if I quit? What if I stayed?
What if I laid right down in the mess I made?
When I knew that it wasn't right
Where would I land? What would I lose?
Who would I be if not here next to you?
How would I change the course of time?

Like a butterfly
What if I?
What if I? Like a butterfly
What if I? What if I?
Like a butterfly
What if I? What if I?
Like a butterfly
What if I? What if I?
