Why...What if

It was a cold Friday night
When I asked you how you felt.
You said there was a chance,
And it made my heart melt.
But then you never acted
On the words that you had said,
And it made all these thoughts
Go running through my head.

Did you really mean it?
Were you trying to spare my heart?
Were you afraid I couldn't handle it,
You and I being apart?

I told you I could handle it.
I told you I wanted to try.
But you weren't really listening,
And it will always make me wonder why.

Why weren't you willing to take the risk?
Why wouldn't you trust me?
Now we will always wonder...What if?

What if you'd have acted?
What if you'd have tried?

Now I lie awake in my bed
The words you had said that night
Replaying in my head.

Now we are forever left
With these two questions
That will go without answers...

Why...?

What if...?
