[intro] What If? [verse 1] There's a quiet kind of alone Not about being unknown You stopped returning calls, not from spite But the well of pretending ran dry last night [chorus] What if nothing broke at all What if the fall was just letting go of the wall What if the ache you thought you'd feel Turns out to be something else, something real [interlude] What If? [verse 2] You were built narrow and deep Not wide and shallow Every hour performing a part Took from your heart [chorus] What if nothing broke at all What if the fall was just letting go of the wall What if the ache you thought you'd feel Turns out to be something else, something real [breakdown] It was not a war It was a withdrawal Not a door slammed shut But a curtain fall Not a rejection Just a correction Not a collapse But a completion What if? [solo] [verse 3] Now the calendar clears, rooms grow small But the silence isn't empty at all Ideas arrive, clarity new Old wounds seen through [chorus] What if nothing broke at all What if the fall was just letting go of the wall What if the ache you thought you'd feel Turns out to be something else, something real [outro] You didn't lose them because something was wrong You let them go because you grew too strong Now the quiet is not empty It is just finally still
