What if there was no light
Nothing wrong nothing right
What if there was no time
And no reason or rhyme
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there by your side
That you don't want me there in your life
What if I got it wrong
And no poem or song
Could put right what I got wrong
Or make you feel i belong
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there by your side
That you don't want me there in your life
Ooh that's right
Let's take a breath and jump over the side
Ooh that's right
How can you know it when you don't even try?
Ooh that's right
Every step that you take
Could be your biggest mistake
It could bend or it could break
That's the risk that you take
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there in your life?
That you don't want me there by your side?
Ooh that's right
Let's take a breath jump over the side
Ooh that's right
How can you know it when you don't even try?
Ooh that's right
Oh
Ooh that's right
Let's take a breath jump over the side
Ooh that's right
You know that darkness always turns into light
Ooh that's right
