What If What Couldve Been and Why

I go home and drink alone Try’na wash my what if’s..away The why’s’ll take a few shots Our what could’ve beens a case I’m drowning in a bottle Same damn thing every night With every sip I swallow Another heavy dose of pride Some question don’t have answers Sometimes truth contains a lie So I ask myself these questions What if, what could’ve been, and why What if we were together Imagine how’d it’d be I pray that all our could’ve beens Turn into memories Why’s it taking so long For me to get it right I ask myself every single night..... I’ll face darkness come morning Even though the sun still shines It’s hard erasing want While thinking someday we might Maybe we can make love Beneath a starry sky Until then, I’m stuck here in this fight With the what if’s, what could’ve beens and why’s What if we were together Imagine how’d it’d be I pray all our could’ve beens Turn into memories Why’s it taking so long For me to get it right I ask myself every single night..... I appreciate everything about you This reality keeps on killing me I’ve wrestled these emotions for a lifetime I just hope that they don’t haunt me till I leave I wonder if she also fights With the what if’s, what could’ve been and why’s
