Verse 1:
What if I was wiser
Had found the words to say
To pull you through those struggles
That you go through every day
But my message is forgotten
Empty words upon a screen
What if I was closer
Could hold you in my arms
And protect you from a world that's full of
Tragedy and harms
Oh I tried to be there for you
Was as close as I could be
Pre Chorus 1:
But instead I flew back home alone
My heart was torn in two
And it's taken me till now to see
I'm not the one for you
And though things may change in time
I think for now I'm moving on
And the words they finally flow enough
To help me sing this song
Chorus:
And I
Am not quite sure just what’s wrong with me
(It’s hard to see)
And I
Know now it just won't work with you and me
(It sets me free)
But if I
Can’t find a way to understand myself
How can I give
The life I live
To someone else
Verse 2:
What if I was better
Would that have made things change
With all these twists and turns
It's like my life's beenre-arranged
And after all of this I don't know
What I'm feeling anymore
What if things were different
What if we had met before
'Cause by the time I came upon you
You had gone and shut the door
So I'm staring through the window
And my heart's upon the floor
Pre Chorus 2:
But instead of standing there just dreaming
Of what might have been
I'll forget about the past and
Do my best to try again
And though things may change in time
I think for now I'm moving on
And the words they finally flow enough
To help me sing this song
