[Verse 1: Abigail Barlow]
It'd be like floatin' in space
With no helmet
You two look great
But I would be jealous
Wish I could just say
I can't help it
I wouldn't know just what to say
If I saw you today
[Chorus: Abigail Barlow]
I'd wish you would beg me just to take you back
Keep forgetting how it all went bad
Start regretting ending it so fast, fast
I'd take my pride and throw it all away
What's the harm in one more heartbreak?
I'd tell myself you're worth all the pain
And maybe this time around won't be such a mistake
If I saw you today, mm
If I saw you today, ooh
[Verse 2: Oisín, Abigail Barlow & Oisín]
Oh, I can't talk to our friends
'Cause we shared them
There's no making amends
'Cause you scared thеm away
Told them you were better off before me
Told them your one side of the story
But I wouldn't know how much to take
If I saw you today
[Chorus: Abigail Barlow & Oisín]
I'd wish you would beg me just to take you back
Keep forgetting how it all went bad
Start regretting ending it so fast, fast
I'd take my pride and throw it all away
What's the harm in one more heartbreak?
I'd tell myself you're worth all the pain
And maybe this time around won't be such a mistake
If I saw you today
[Bridge: Abigail Barlow, (Oisín), Abigail Barlow & Oisín]
I'd ask how your momma's doing
And your family in St. Louis (Mm)
Are you happy with the life you're choosing? No, ooh-uh
I'd tell you breaking up was stupid (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Didn't know all that I'd be losing (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
If I saw you today (Yeah)
[Outro: Abigail Barlow & Oisín]
I'd wish you would beg me just to take you back
Keep forgetting how it all went bad
Start regretting ending it so fast
I'd take my pride and throw it all away
What's the harm in one more heartbreak?
I'd tell myself you're worth all the pain
Maybe this time around won't be such a mistake
Maybe this time around you'd just decide to stay
If I saw you today
