What If

What if I told you

What I've been hiding all this time?

What if the words I'm scared to say

Are already on your mind?

(are they?)

What if you looked at me

And didn't turn away?

What if for just one moment

We didn't have to be afraid?

(just one moment)

I keep imagining your hand in mine

A life that could've been yours and mine

Then I wake up and you're still there

But I'm not allowed to love you like I care

(I wish I could)

What if... what if...

We stopped pretending we don't feel?

What if... what if...

For once, we let our hearts be real?

What if the person I've been waiting for

Has been standing right here all along?

What if I said I loved you?

Would you say you loved me all along?

(all along...)

What if we had met differently?

Somewhere nobody knew our names

No history between us

No one else to blame

(just you and me)

Would you still look at me

The way you always do?

Would I still feel this safe

Every time I'm close to you?

(I think I would)

You don't have to say a word

I swear I see it in your eyes

Maybe you're hiding something too

Maybe you're just as scared as I

(are you scared too?)

What if... what if...

We stopped pretending we don't feel?

What if... what if...

For once, we let our hearts be real?

What if the person I've been waiting for

Has been standing right here all along?

What if I said I loved you?

Would you say you loved me all along?

(tell me you would)

What if tomorrow

I finally told the truth?

What if I stopped being afraid

Of what I'd lose?

What if you reached for me

And I reached back too?

What if the impossible

Wasn't impossible with you?

(with you...)

But what if I'm wrong?

What if you don't feel the same?

What if saying those three little words

Changes everything?

(I'm scared)

So I'll keep wondering

And you'll keep wondering too

Two hearts saying everything

Without saying what they knew

(we both know...)

What if... what if...

We finally let ourselves believe?

What if... what if...

There's a different life for you and me?

What if the person I've been searching for

Was never really far away?

What if I said I loved you?

Would you finally say my name?

(say it...)

What if... what if...

We weren't too late to change our story?

What if... what if...

You were always meant to find me?

What if the love I've been hiding

Was the love you were hiding too?

What if I stopped asking what if...

And finally ran to you?

(to you...)

But for now I'll close my eyes

And dream of what could be...

(just you and me)

And somewhere in that little dream

You're finally here with me.
