if I had a tried harder
if we had tried harder
if i had told the truth
if i had known what the truth was
if no-one had died
if we talked better
if i had listened more
if we had taken the time
if we'd had the patience
if I weren't the person I am if he weren't the person he was
if my reason were as strong as my heart
if we had been in the same story 
if we hadn't been so damn defensive
if I could have told him this when I had the chance
if there were two chances or maybe even three
if this weren't the story it is
if I didn't still love him
if he still loved me
