What If

[man] [Verse] In the haze of distant days, We walked through life in separate ways. But beneath the surface, a spark ignited, A connection quietly invited. [pre-chorus] In the quiet of the night, Under starlit skies, I wondered if you'd stare into my eyes. But fear held tight and wires crossed A price too high, a painful cost. And our chance was lost... [chorus] What if I had spoken, what if I had dared? Would our story be different, if I had bared My soul to you, in the silence of that night? Would we have found our way to the light? What if I had reached out, what if I had tried? Could we have rewritten our stars in the sky If I had spoken up that night? [Verse 2] That night you called, with your feet so cold If only I had been too bold. But as I stood there, in that July air I just couldn't tell you how much I cared. I was too scared. [Chorus] What if I had spoken, what if I had dared? Would our story be different, if I had bared My soul to you, in the silence of that night? Would we have found our way to the light? What if I had reached out, what if I had tried? Could we have rewritten our stars in the sky? If I had spoken up that night? [Verse 3] The morning dawned, with a heavy heart As I watched you vow, 'til death do YOU part. Alone in the crowd, my heart sank low, As I turned away, I just had to go. [Chorus] What if I had spoken, what if I had dared? Would our story be different, if I had bared My soul to you, in your dress of white? As you took his Hand, I would never be your man Leaving me behind, with my heart in my hand. Our paths diverged, our stars will never align. Because I didn't speak up that night [chorus] What if I had spoken, what if I had dared? Would our story be different, if I had bared My soul to you, in the silence of that night? Would we have found our way to the light? What if I had reached out, what if I had tried? Could we have rewritten our stars in the sky If I had spoken up that night?
