Imagine
Can you imagine if we never ended up here?
Imagine not clenching your fists;
Imagine if you allowed me to give you comfort,
Instead of demanding this tense and empty company.
I just think you'd be happier.
Can you imagine letting someone love you?
Imagine if you never pushed me away.
Imagine if you never said those things, if you never left a mark.
Imagine if we had never had to say sorry for the things we did.
I just think we'd be happier.
Can you imagine if I'd ever stood up to you?
Imagine if the first time we went sour I had said "no".
Imagine if I had the guts to realize I chose this life and that I shouldn't have dreamed you'd change.
I just think I'd be happier.
