I've got something to tell you
That I just can't say
So I'm writing it down
In case maybe someday
Our lives take a turn down a road
We can't see right now
I know you're happy
And I'm happy for you
But since you found each other
I've been so confused
'Cause I believe there's one soul on this earth
That was meant for mine
I was sent here to find

What if it's you
What if our hearts were meant to be one
What'll I do
Knowing that I'll never love anyone
As much as I do love you
What if it's true
What if it's you

If destiny called and I missed my cue
Do I get one more chance
Oh how I wish I knew
I'll never again put my heart in the hands of fate
If it's too late

What if it's you
What if our hearts were meant to be one
What'll I do
Knowing that I'll never love anyone
As much as I do love you
What if it's true
What if it's you

If I ever hold you, I'll never let go
But if I never do, how will I know

What if it's you
What if our hearts were meant to be one
What'll I do
Knowing that I'll never love anyone
As much as I do love you
What if it's true
What if it's you
