[Verse 1]
I know you tried to cut out the noise
To get me to hear the love in your voice
But I was so deaf to all but myself
So you just went silent and stopped tryna help
[Pre-Chorus]
It took a while to realise but things are clearer over time
And those mistakes we made were mine
[Chorus]
But what if, what if we'd held on for longer?
Or what if, what if breaking made us stronger?
Either way, I'm contemplating if there's a way to get you back
'Cause every day I'm tired of thinking what if, what if, what if, what if
[Verse 2]
Well, I know you tried to get me to see
Myself in the mirror the way that you saw me
But I was so blind, that all I could do
Was think that my darkness was the shadow of you
[Chorus]
But what if, what if we'd held on for longer?
Or what if, what if breaking made us stronger?
Either way, I'm contemplating if there's a way to get you back
'Cause every day I'm tired of thinking what if, what if, what if
[Post-Chorus]
Every day I learn to love you a little more
And every day, I swear to give you what I never gave before
If every day I learn to love you a little more
And every day, I swear to give you what I never gave before
What I never gave before
[Bridge]
So what if, what if, what if, what if, what if, what if
[Chorus]
What if, what if we'd held on for longer?
And what if, what if breaking made us stronger now, now?
Either way, I'm contemplating if there's a way to get you back
'Cause every day I'm tired of thinking what if, what if, what if
[Post-Chorus]
Every day I learn to love you a little more
And every day, I swear to give you what I never gave before
If every day I learn to love you a little more
And every day, I swear to give you what I never gave before
