I meet someone the other day
It's good to see her face again
She's the one who got a way
Way back whenShowed photos of her family
Soon to marry mum to be
She used to want all that with me
And she smiled and I laughedThen I imagined if I didn't take that fight
What would my world be like?
Would I be standing at the altar by her side?Would her child be mine?
And I think that I've just seen
The life that could have beenShe's happy now and that's a fact
And who am I to mess with that
So I won't try to get her back
In a way I'm glad'Cause that was then and this is now
Still I can't help but think about
All the things that I'm without
But I wave the white flagThen I imagined if I didn't take that fight
What would my world be like?
Would I be standing at the altar by her side?Would her child be mine?
And I think that I've just seen
The life that could have beenAnd as she was walking away
I thought I saw her
Turn back and hesitate
Look at me as if to sayI imagined if you didn't take that fight
What would my world be like?
Would you be standing at the altar by my side?
What would our child look like?Then I imagined if I didn't take that fight
What would my world be like?
Would I be standing at the altar by her side?Would her child be mine?
And it's the strangest thing
And I think that I've just seen
The life that could have beenThe life that could have been
