What If (taken from ”Christmas Carol”)

[Verse 1]
Here I stand alone with this weight upon my heart
And it will not go away
In my head I keep on looking back, right back to the start
Wondering what it was that made you change

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well I tried, but I had to draw the line
And still this question keeps on spinning in my mind

[Chorus 1]
What if I had never let you go?
Would you be the man I used to know?
If I'd stayed, if you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know

[Verse 2]
Many roads to take, some to joy, some to heart-ache
Anyone can lose their way
And if I said that we could turn it back, right back to the start
Would you take the chance and make the change

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Do you think how it would have been sometimes?
Do you pray that I'd never left your side?

[Chorus 1]
What if I had never let you go?
Would you be the man I used to know?
If I'd stayed, if you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know

[Interlude]
If only we could turn the hands of time
If I could take you back, would you still be mine

[Pre-Chorus 3]
'Cos I tried, but I had to draw the line
And still this question keep on spinning in my mind

[Chorus 2]
What if I had never let you go?
Would you be the man I used to know?
What if I had never walked away?
'Cos I still love you more than I can say
If I'd stayed, if you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know
We'll never know, we'll never know
