"What if"



From time to time I ask myself,
why love is used like a leathal weapon,
shooting right through my heart,
killing without any warning,
turning you and me apart ...

Still lost in a feeling,
my senses overload,
you finally left,
as cold as ice,
nothing will remain,
only a wicked thing called 'what if',
still there driving me insane ...

What if,
it's ringing in my mind,
what if,
what if,
this question without an answer,
makes me running blind ...

And I feel like a stranger to myself,
live my life in circles,
which road to follow,
which way not to go,
once open hearted,
now afraid to let emotions flow ...

From time to time,
when I try moments to recall,
the taste's so bittersweet,
and I'm standing at the wall,
it's written on my face,
you can see it in my eyes,
the days are passing by,
but some memories never die ...

What if,
it's ringing in my mind,
what if,
what if,
this question without an answer,
makes me running blind ...

What if,
was there a chance not to fail,
or a trick of love I should have known,
what if,
this question without an answer,
in finding the perfect tail,
and not to be alone ...

I feel like a stranger to myself,
live my life in circles,
going round and round,
what if,
what if,
and through all this years,
I never touched the ground ...
