lyrics

If
You hadn’t kissed me
And if
You weren’t so lovely
And if
I hadn’t been so lonely
And if
I didn’t want so badly

Someone to hold me through the night
and tell me it’s alright and that you feel it too
Then we could both be in our lives
I wouldn’t know what it’s like to be with you

Or now
What it’s like
to be
Without you

If
You hadn’t been more than you seemed
And if
You were still just that face on that screen
And if
I didn’t know what it felt like to hold that face in my hands
And if
We didn’t share all our secrets and both understand

We could be in our separate lives
I wouldn’t even try to see this through
Yeah, I’d be doing fine
I wouldn’t know what it’s like to be with you

Or now
What it’s like
to be
Without you

I’m not saying I wish we’d never met
And I’m not saying there’s even a single moment I regret
I’m just saying life can be so cruel sometimes
You’re never never never never never never gonna be mine

I guess I gotta find a way to be okay without you
(Never never never never never gonna be mine)
Gotta find a way to be okay without you
(Never never never never never gonna be mine)

I’m gonna find a way to be okay without you
(Never never never never never gonna be mine)
Yes I’m gonna find a way to be okay without you
(Never never never never never gonna be mine)
