Lyrics What If - Ne-Yo

Last night your name came up in conversation
They were telling me you'd found love in a new location
And I swear my mind went to the time when you and I got faded
And I promised you we'd make it
Fast forward two years and we were over
Ubered to the airport when I know I should've drove ya
Later on I'd tell myself that breakin' up was worth it
But deep down I'm still uncertain

What if, if we never let it go?
What if, we were way too young to know what it was?
Us just chilling like before, tell me, wasn't that enough?
What if, if you never left that night?
What if, I never let you board that flight?
What if you, If you could only read my mind?
Maybe we'd still be in love

Last night your name came up in conversation
Everybody singin' his praises
This great new dude you datin' (I)
And I'm over you, but I had a few, so it's probably true I was fading (probably true, I was fading)
But damn it, I just could not take it (I just could not take it, ah)
I remember things was so good when you were with me
But then I went and broke your heart so bad, you moved up out the city
No hating, I'm so glad that you're so happy now
But I wonder, do you ever think about

The "What if (ooh) if we never let it go?
What if (ooh), we were way too young to know what it was? (Ooh)
Us just chilling like before, tell me, wasn't that enough?
What if (ah-ah, ooh), if you never left that night?
What if (ah-ah, ooh), I never let you board that flight?
What if you (ooh), if you could only read my mind?
Maybe we'd still be in love"

(Ah-ah) ah yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Ah-ah) ah yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Ah-ah) ah yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah

What if, if we never let it go?
What if, we were just too young to know what it was?
Us chilling like before, wasn't that enough? Hey, yeah
What if, if you never left that night? (Never left that night)
What if, I never let you board that flight?
What if you (you, you, you-you-you-you), if you could only read my mind?
Maybe we'd still be in love

(Ah-ah) ah yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Ah-ah) ah yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Ah-ah) ah yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Ah-ah) ah yeah, yeah, yeah
