lyrics

What if you had listened to me?
What if you had taken better care of yourself?
What if you had wasted less time?
What if you had been a better person?
What if you had eaten more healthy? Drank less alchohol?
What if you had spent less time on your phone?
What if you had loved more people?
What if you had watched less TV? Been more active?
Spent more time with your loved ones? Worked less hard?
What if you had called your parents more? Lived your own life?
None of it matters

We have known this day would come
You took my hand to let go in the end
You breathe in to breathe out
You opened your eyes to lay them to rest at night
You welcome people to kiss them goodbye
You were born to...

What if you had been a better friend?
What if you had taken more time for yourself?
What if you had been more honest?
What if you had had more courage?
What if you had expressed your feelings? Been more adventurous?
What if you had spent more time making music?
What if you had been more loving?
What if you had made your own choices? Been more grateful? Stayed more true to yourself? Been less afraid?
What if you had let yourself be happier? Been more patient?
None of it matters

We have known this day would arrive
Even the sun can’t push away the night
The moon dreads the sunrise
Still every time night makes place for morning light
Beginnings and endings are bound by the time
You were born to die
