Lyrics: Kate Winslet. What If.

Here I stand alone
With this weight upon my heart
And it will not go away

In my head, I keep on looking back
Right back to the start
Wondering what it was that made you change

Well, I tried, but I had to draw the line
And still this question keeps on spinning in my mind

What if I had never let you go?
Would you be the man I used to know?
If I'd stayed, if you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know

Many roads to take
Some to joy, some to heart-ache
Anyone can lose their way

And if I said that we could turn it back
Right back to the start
Would you take the chance and make the change?

Do you think how it would have been sometimes?
Do you pray that I'd never left your side?

What if I had never let you go?
Would you be the man I used to know?
If I'd stayed, if you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know

If only we could turn the hands of time
If I could take you back would you still be mine

'Cos I tried, but I had to draw the line
And still this question keeps on spinning in my mind

What if I had never let you go?
Would you be the man I used to know?
What if I had never walked away?
'Cos I still love you more than I can say?

If I'd stayed, if you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know
We'll never know
