What If…

None knows of dark horizons in my soul
None sees heavy rains in my heart
None feels cold storms within when I’m alone
Turning off the light and crying at night

Teary dawn of red
Pain never dead
Hiding it all behind a smile
I slowly go outside
’cause none should know the truth
None should see that only one knew

Everytime asking myself
What if the sky isn’t blue
What if the grass was never green
What if I never told this truth
What if what if what if…

None feels that pain of mine
None sees those tears in lines
None cares if I cry at night
None brings me back my heart

None ever saw me crying before
’cause I hide my secrets within
None ever heard me weeping evermore
’cause I keep smiling and singing
None ever knew whom I’m suffering for
’cause it’s my sweet memory
Rotten diary, forgotten melody
The only passion of me
Eyes-to-eyes dream, night of never sin

Everytime tearing myself
That single ‘what if’
Still holding my breath
But now or never – what if…
