What If? Lyrics Coldplay What if there was no light? Nothin' wrong, nothin' 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, jump over the side Ooh, that's right How can you know it if 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 But 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 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
