[Intro – gentle piano + faint rising strings]
If time had mercy…
If the world slowed down just once more…
Maybe we’d find our way back
to the moment we lost.
VERSE 1
There was a night
when your hand fit in mine
like the universe planned it.
Every word between us
felt soft, unbroken,
like our hearts could speak
without ever trying.
Now I think of that silence—
the good kind,
the kind that wraps around two people
and tells them
“this might be love.”
VERSE 1
But time moved too fast,
and we weren’t ready.
I watched hope slip through our fingers
like water we couldn’t hold.
And still…
when the world gets quiet,
your memory sits beside me
the same way you once did—
close enough to touch,
but just out of reach.
PRE-CHORUS — Shared, soft tremble
If I could start again
from the very first heartbeat,
would your eyes find mine
the way they did then?
Would we choose each other
without fear this time?
CHORUS — Emotional swell, aching but hopeful
If our hearts returned
to where they first began,
would you fall for me
like you did back then?
If the world rewrote
every tear and every end,
would you fall for me—
not as a stranger,
but as the one you loved
before everything changed?
VERSE 2
I still remember
the way your laughter rose
like sunlight breaking through a storm.
You held your dreams close,
but you let me hold the pieces
you were afraid to show.
We were learning how to love
while learning how to heal—
a fragile kind of courage
I didn’t know I needed
until you were gone.
VERSE 2
And I wonder sometimes…
if I walked toward you now,
with the same trembling hope,
the same open heart—
would something inside you
recognize me?
Or would we pass like strangers
who once shared a future
but never learned
how to keep it alive?
BRIDGE — Soft duet, close and trembling
If the stars aligned again,
if fate softened its hands…
If the universe whispered
“one more chance”…
Would you reach for me
the way you used to—
as if losing me
meant losing part of yourself?
FINAL CHORUS — Full emotional lift, cinematic
If our hearts returned
to where they first began,
would you fall for me
like you did back then?
If every ending
turned into a second chance,
would you fall for me again—
not pretending,
not remembering,
but truly, deeply,
all over again?
OUTRO — whisper-soft
If our hearts returned…
would yours still choose mine?
