Analysis of What if

Brandon Babjack 1986 (Pennsylvania)



I call this what if
What if I was born without reason
What if I was picked on for no reason
What if you're reason
What if you made me feel this way
What if you acted like you cared
What if people's words had meaning
What if people actually cared
What if you lived a life scared
What if you lived a life not so fair
What if all those people nvr cared
What if you could change your past
What if your next breath is your last
What if we don't wake tomorrow
What if this night is your last
What if..
