What If Lyrics
Here I stand alone with this weight upon my heart
And it will not go away in my head I keep on looking back
Right back to the start wondering what it was that made you change
Well I tried but I had to draw the line and still this question
Keeps on spinning in my mind
What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
If I had stayed If you had tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we will never know
What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
What if I had never walked away
'Cos I still love you more than I can say
If I had stayed If you had tried
If we could only turn back time but I guess we will never know
Many roads to take some to joy some to heart-ache anyone can lose their way
And if I said that we could turn it back right back to the start
Would you take the chance and make the change
Do you think how it would have been sometimes
Do you pray that I had never left your side
If only we could turn the hands of time
If I could take you back would you still be mine
Because I tried but I had to draw the line
And still this question keep on spinning in my mind
And it will not go away in my head I keep on looking back
Right back to the start wondering what it was that made you change
Well I tried but I had to draw the line and still this question
Keeps on spinning in my mind
Would you be the man I used to know
If I had stayed If you had tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we will never know
What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
What if I had never walked away
'Cos I still love you more than I can say
If I had stayed If you had tried
If we could only turn back time but I guess we will never know
And if I said that we could turn it back right back to the start
Would you take the chance and make the change
Do you think how it would have been sometimes
Do you pray that I had never left your side
If I could take you back would you still be mine
Because I tried but I had to draw the line
And still this question keep on spinning in my mind

...The stupid question I keep asking myself. ...I never knew Kate Winslet sang and I heard this on the radio and liked it. Her voice sounds so clear and pretty...
I love this song, really eay to listen to and the song does mean something to some one!
The title explains itself really its about lookin back on a past relationship and wondering wot wudve happened if you'd done things differently, we all go through it at some point. Kate has a lovely voice i hope she brings more stuff out.
This song means everything to me! I have just got out of a relationship that ended bad but was amazing for the majority of the relationship. At the end, I got cheated on so finished it and the words in this song mean so much to me at the moment. I love it! Thankyou
It's a really bitter-sweet song
Sounds like he was the "perfect" man at the beginning of the relationship, then changed. She wished he never changed and was the same person she fell in love with. And now she is questioning her decision to end the relationship.
I think we all wonder like this, however the relationship turned out.
But in the end, if you were moved to leave, it probably was the right decision. People don't change. At least, it is very difficult for someone to change in a relationship - they need to change for their own motivation, on their own.
