What if

(Verse 1)

I always wonder where I’d be today

Which roads I never walked because I stayed

Which mornings I let fade to the same routine

What pieces I shelved to keep the world pleased

If I’d dared to break that pattern, where would I be?

(Verse 2)

If I had listened to that voice of fate

Would I have changed before it was too late

Would I be stronger than I was before

Or still be standing behind a locked door

---

(Chorus )

What if we had never met at all

Would I be whole or just a hollow frame

Would I have walked a road that felt like mine

Or lost myself in someone else’s name

Would my days be blank with no design

By prizes I was too afraid to claim

What if we had never met at all

Would I have found the strength to stake my name

(Verse 3)

There were split roads I never chose to take

Out of fear and pride and silent shame

Small moments I let quietly slip away

Dreams I never materialized to claim

I stood still while the world kept moving on

Let that silence shape the man I became

(Verse 4)

Now I wonder if I’d be any stronger

In a life that didn’t bend to this weight

If inaction carved a path I couldn’t see

Would I still stand for what I claim to be

---

(Bridge, rapped)

Maybe I was always meant to lose the bet

To miss the train and drown in some regret

Maybe absence is the price I get

For chasing ghosts I haven’t buried yet

If you had never crossed my eyes that day

Would I have found a different kind of way

Would I have learned to fight, or run away

Would I have stayed, or let my skies turn gray

Would I be someone else, or still be the same

---

(Closing Chorus)

What if we had never met at all

Would my heart still be aching in this way

Would I have found the strength to walk your way

Or lost myself in someone else's name

Would I now be painting life in gray

Without your light to guide me through the fray

Would I still be searching for a different way

What if we had actually met
