What if there was no light

Nothing wrong nothing 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 and jump over the side

Ooh that's right

How can you know it when 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

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

Oh

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
