What If by Girard
What If
Verse 1:
We stood at crossroads in the dark, where the roads diverged away,
With a map of dreams before us, but we didn’t know which way.
The whispers of the future, they were tangled in the night,
Now I’m left here wondering, what if we had seen the light?
Pre-Chorus:
The echoes of the choices, that we never dared to make,
Haunt the silent moments, and the chances we forsake.
Chorus:
What if we had taken that chance, walked a different line?
What if the dreams we left behind had turned out fine?
In the quiet of the evening, when the stars are dim and thin,
I’m haunted by the question, what if we’d chosen different things?
Verse 2:
I remember all the signs, and the roads we could have known,
But we turned away from them, left those paths overgrown.
Now the “what ifs” are shadows, in the corners of my mind,
And I’m chasing echoes of the lives we left behind.
Pre-Chorus:
The roads we didn’t travel, the dreams we left alone,
Are a silent, aching presence in the heart I call my own.
Chorus:
What if we had taken that chance, walked a different line?
What if the dreams we left behind had turned out fine?
In the quiet of the evening, when the stars are dim and thin,
I’m haunted by the question, what if we’d chosen different things?
Bridge:
If we could rewind time, would we find a different fate?
Or are we bound to wonder, what we’ve lost to late?
In the mirror of our choices, where the past begins to blur,
The “what ifs” keep on whispering, and the doubts begin to stir.
Chorus:
What if we had taken that chance, walked a different line?
What if the dreams we left behind had turned out fine?
In the quiet of the evening, when the stars are dim and thin,
I’m haunted by the question, what if we’d chosen different things?
Outro:
So I’ll live with these reflections, and the echoes of regret,
In the tapestry of choices, where our paths are softly set.
For in the night of what ifs, I’ll find a way to be,
And embrace the life I’ve chosen, with all its mystery.
