Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What if none of this happened?
It's nothing like I imagined it
What if I wasn't this strong?
[Verse 2]
What if it all just went differently?
So many times I wish I would've just listened
I wasn't ready for it all
[Verse 3]
There're so many things I'd change, but I can't
There're so many things I said that I wish I left unsaid
Time's passing me by
Gotta just laugh so I don't cry
[Verse 4]
If you asked me then where I wanted to be
It'd look something like this, living out my wildest of dreams
But life sometimes ain't always what it seems
If you ask me now, all I've wanted to be
Is happy
[Verse 5]
I remember when I was little
Before I knew that anyone could be evil
These egos, some people
Playing with my innocence like at a casino
[Verse 6]
And I refuse to be jaded
Still painting rainbows all over my face, oh
I've gotten used to the fall, fall
[Verse 7]
There're so many things I'd change, but I can't
There're so many things I said that I wish I left unsaid
Time's passing me by
Gotta just laugh so I don't die
[Verse 8]
If you asked me then where I wanted to be
It looks something like this, living out my wildest of dreams
But life ain't always what it seems
No, life's got me falling to my knees
But if you ask me now, all I've wanted to be
[Verse 9]
If you'd ask me now
If you'd ask me now
If you'd ask me now
If you'd ask me now
[Verse 10]
If you'd ask me
If you'd ask me now
If you'd ask me now
If you'd ask me now
