What If?

[Intro] [Soft acoustic guitar strumming, faint fiddle in the background] A bottle’s empty, but my guilt still flows, The weight of one mistake nobody knows. [Verse 1] It didn’t mean a thing, just a reckless night, A stranger’s smile in the evening light. I was out of my mind, lost in the haze, But now I’m haunted by her face. [Pre-Chorus] I see her standing in the kitchen door, But what if she’s not there anymore? [Chorus] What if she walks away? What if she can’t forgive the price I made her pay? I’d lose my heart, my whole damn life, I’d lose the one who makes it right. What if… what if she’s gone? [Verse 2] She’s my every sunrise, my home, my ground, Her laughter’s the sweetest sound. But what would I do if she packed her things, And left me here with this pain that stings? [Pre-Chorus] I see her tears fall, and I feel her ache, What if this is the one thing she can’t take? [Chorus] What if she walks away? What if she can’t forgive the price I made her pay? I’d lose my heart, my whole damn life, I’d lose the one who makes it right. What if… what if she’s gone? [Bridge] I’d beg and plead, I’d get down on my knees, I’d swear I’d be the man she needs. But what if she can’t look past my sin, What if I lose her trust again? [Chorus - Variation] What if she walks away? What if I’m left with this empty space? I’d lose the love I don’t deserve, I’d lose the only heaven on this earth. What if… what if she’s gone? [Outro] [Quiet guitar picking, fading fiddle] A bottle’s empty, but my guilt still flows, What if she leaves me… God only knows. [end]
