Song Lyrics

See I knew from the jump that
I was rotten to the core so
Naturally I knew you'd pull back
You made it clear that you wanted more
So I attempted to please ya
But my feelings go deeper
Then it all came to a stop
Because of a few heartless words we said

It's like me and you didn't even try
We just said goodbye
We let this love here die
And never looked back
In my mind I'm still questioning why
Promises turn to lies
Feelings bottled inside
When the truth be told I

[Chorus]
I'm still wondering
What if?
What if?
What if we would've worked out
I believe we could've worked out
If we worked a little harder
Still imagining
What if?
What if?
What if we would've worked out
I believe we could've worked out

Worked a little harder
Yeah if we worked a little harder

See I was looking for a reason
To believe that love could work
So I hope that you would be there
That's the reason why it still hurts
Now it's for you that I'm yearning
Wish I could reverse our season turning
It's this lesson I'm tired of learning
Girl it's killing me to know

It's like me and you didn't even try
We just said goodbye
We let this love here die
And never looked back
In my mind I'm still questioning why
Promises turn to lies
Feelings bottled inside
When the truth be told I

[Chorus]

I believe that we share the blame
For things being this way
If mutually we wanna change
I know we've got the potential
And we can work out our issues

[Chorus: x2]

A little more time
A little more patience
A little more respect
That's all it would've taken for us
You're telling me a lie
A little more effort
Will make the world
A little more time
A little more patience
A little more respect
You're telling me a lie
A little more effort
Will make the world

What if?
What if?
What if?
If we would've worked a little harder
