I know you tried

To cut out the noise

To get me to hear

The love in your voice

But I was so deaf

To all but myself

So you just went silent

Stopped trying to help.

It took a while to realize

But things are clearer over time

And those mistakes we made were mine.

So what if what if we'd held on for longer?

Or what if what if breaking made us stronger?

Either way I'm contemplating

If there's a way to get you back

'cause every day I'm tired of thinking

What if what if what if what if.

I know you tried

To get me to see

Myself in the mirror

The way that you saw me

But I was so blind

And all I could do

Was think that my darkness

Was the shadow of you.

So what if what if we'd held on for longer?

Or what if what if breaking made us stronger?

Either way I'm contemplating

If there's a way to get you back

'cause every day I'm tired of thinking

What if what if what if.

Every day I learn to love you a little more

And every day I swear to give you

What I never gave before.

Every day I learn to love you a little more

And every day I swear to give you

What I never gave before

What I never gave before.

So what if what if what if what if what if what if
