Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What if I said yes?
What if I'd gone out that night?
What if you'd turned left?
Everything would've turned out alright
What if I'd spoke up?
What if I'd took the keys?
What if I had tried a little harder
Instead of always trying to please?
[Verse 2]
Joey, I'm so sorry
Oh, can you hear me
Joey, I'm so sorry
[Verse 3]
What if I'd said no?
What if we'd never fell in love?
What if we'd gone slow?
Or a little bit faster and broken up?
Would I know this hurt?
Would I feel this pain?
Do you know that with all I have left in
My very last breath I will call your name?
[Verse 4]
Joey, I'm so sorry
Oh, can you hear me
Joey, I'm so sorry
[Verse 5]
Were you sad?
Were you scared?
Did you whisper a prayer to be free?
Was it quiet and cold?
Was it light or too dark to see?
And did you reach for me?
[Verse 6]
Joey, I'm so sorry
Oh, can you hear me
Joey, I'm so sorry
Oh, can you hear me
Joey, I'm so
Joey, I'm so sorry
