"what if...(dancing alone)" lyrics

What if we never met
What if you changed your mind as I walked up all those stairs
What if I hadn't stayed
What if I turned around when you reached out for my hand

Then maybe I would have left this city and moved back home
Maybe I would be afraid of growing, I would still be gone
Maybe I'd just kept my name, and I'd never write that song
Then maybe I would
Maybe I would still be dancing alone

Met you at a bar
And you told me 'bout your car
You could have died in an ambulance
Then we collided by accident

Now I'm so alone in my Airbnb
And the heat doesn't work, and the roof has a leak
You said, sounds like a mess, you can come stay with me
And now I don't wanna leave

What if we never met
What if you changed your mind as I walked up all those stairs
What if I hadn't stayed
What if I turned around when you reached out for my hand

Then maybe I would have left this city and moved back home
Maybe I would be afraid of growing, I would still be gone
Maybe I'd just kept my name, and I'd never write that song
Then maybe I would
Maybe I would still be dancing alone

Dancing
I'd be dancing alone
Dancing
I'd be dancing alone
Dancing
I'd be dancing alone

Maybe we don't stay together
Maybe I don't wanna know
Maybe nothing lasts forever
And that's the way life goes
But if it makes it any better, I'd be dancing with your ghost
So I won't be dancing
Dancing alone
