What If What Couldve Been and Why

I go home and drink alone
Try’na wash my what if’s..away
The why’s’ll take a few shots
Our what could’ve beens a case

I’m drowning in a bottle
Same damn thing every night
With every sip I swallow 
Another heavy dose of pride
Some question don’t have answers 
Sometimes truth contains a lie
So I ask myself these questions
What if, what could’ve been, and why

What if we were together 
Imagine how’d it’d be
I pray that all our could’ve beens
Turn into memories
Why’s it taking so long
For me to get it right
I ask myself every single night.....

I’ll face darkness come morning
Even though the sun still shines
It’s hard erasing want
While thinking someday we might

Maybe we can make love
Beneath a starry sky 
Until then, I’m stuck here in this fight
With the what if’s, what could’ve beens and why’s 

What if we were together 
Imagine how’d it’d be
I pray all our could’ve beens
Turn into memories
Why’s it taking so long
For me to get it right
I ask myself every single night.....

I appreciate everything about you
This reality keeps on killing me
I’ve wrestled these emotions for a lifetime 
I just hope that they don’t haunt me till I leave

I wonder if she also fights 
With the what if’s, what could’ve been and why’s
