it's true what they say
that you're always alone
sitting in solitude
sitting by yourself
thinking about what happened
considering the "what if"'s
what if i changed?
what if i cried?
what if i cared?
who would know
besides me, when
i am alone

it's true what they say
that popularity is overrated
after you left
i felt you here
but this time
after you left
i didn't think of you
did u think of me?
did u think of the "what if"'s?
what if it was different?
what if i changed?
what if i cried?
what if i cared?
you're out there
and i'm here waiting
for hope
for happiness
for love, or lust, or passion

it's true what they say
that these are the best years of our lives
when i look back at this
i'll see emptiness
all alone
looking back at this
the best years of our lives
thinking about what happened
contemplating the "what if"'s
what if i changed?
what if i cried?
what if i cared?
who would visit
when i'm alone?

it's true what they say
that you never know how good something is until you lose it
did you ever stop to think about
who would cry if you died?
i have
did you ever stop to ponder the "what if"'s?
what if you changed?
what if you cried?
what if you cared?
i don't think you have
considering our pain
considering our loathing
of being alone

it's true what they say
that you shouldn't hate the player, but hate the game
it's not my fault...
or maybe it is
how would i know?
nobody tells me
did i ever try the "what if"'s?
what if i changed?
what if i cried?
what if i cared?
i don't think i did
it's too painful
being alone
sitting here...
