If We Would've Made It

I’m usually the one who’s optimistic But I never really thought we had a chance So when you started comin’ ‘round I almost missed it But now all you gotta do is take my hand You sat me down on the front porch And said there was somethin’ on your mind I smiled and gave you that look and said I ain’t gonna wait all night There was somethin’ bout the look in your eyes Made the future look twice as bright And my heart was saying this is your chance, boy, you better take it Maybe we’d have made it work Maybe we’d have crashed and burned But when the memory comes back now I just can’t escape it Because I never found out if we would’ve made it It’s been a couple years since I’ve thought about it I’ve done a lot of growing up and moving on I’ve got a new big city dream and a new man next to me Isn’t that what every girl wants Well I ran into one of your friends And he said you were doing alright It took my breath how just like that I could see you there that night When there was somethin’ bout the look in your eyes Made the future look twice as bright And my heart was saying this is your chance, boy, you better take it Maybe we’d have made it work Maybe we’d have crashed and burned But when the memory comes back now I just can’t escape it Because I never found out if we would’ve made it When I think back on all the mistakes and memories Sometimes I wish I had just been the brave one and carried The courage that it takes to just take your hand and risk it again There was somethin’ bout the look in your eyes Made the future look twice as bright And my heart was saying this is your chance, boy, you better take it Maybe we’d have made it work Maybe we’d have crashed and burned But when the memory comes back now I just can’t escape it Because I never found out if we would’ve made it If we would've made it
