What If
Meg & Dia Lyrics

Stand tall
Be confident and proud of who we are.

Head and shoulders down
Despite any setbacks, we will not let it defeat us and will always hold our heads high.

They don't make them like us anymore
We are unique and stand out from others.

You failed to see that I am not your shadow
We are not someone else's copy or following in someone else's footsteps.

I can be more
We have the ability to be better and achieve greater things.

You said the world is hard to face
Someone told us that the world is a difficult place.

I am your umbrella, Megan
But we can provide protection and support to someone named Megan.

But I can keep up with it's pace
We can handle the challenges and difficulties that the world presents to us.

If you let me go
However, we need to be allowed to make our own choices and decisions.

I was running to see you down the line
We were making an effort to connect with someone in the future.

What if I've built up what was mine
What if we achieved great success and accomplished something significant.

What if I didn't forget passion like you did
What if we have continued to pursue our passions and interests whereas someone else stopped doing so.

What if I find my purpose first
What if we discovered our purpose and meaning in life before anyone else.

What if I fulfill my life's work
What if we accomplished everything we wanted to do in life.

What if you counting on my failure made me live
What if someone else's negative expectations towards us actually motivated us to succeed even more.

Not scared.
We are not afraid of anything.

I know you thought I was shaking fast in my own two shoes
Someone else believed we were nervous and unstable.

But these soles could fight the ocean waves,
We are capable of overcoming great challenges.

Dirty laundry, and world war II
We have the strength to handle even the toughest situations, such as fighting in a war.

Finally I see past my front hands
We have gained a deeper understanding of ourselves and our abilities.

Not a coward's pissed-stained pants
We are not afraid and will not back down from difficult situations.

Thank you for telling me I can't
Someone else told us that we cannot achieve our goals.

Without you, I wouldn't be where I am
However, we have used that negativity as a motivator to get where we are today.

If you see me again,
If we cross paths with someone again,

You won't know my face
they may not recognize us anymore.

But you'll recall my heart
However, they will remember our true character and nature.

Inside of me, a side of you is placed
We were influenced by someone else and their actions or words have stuck with us.

When I see you again,
When we see that person again,

I won't be bitter
we will not hold a grudge or anger towards them.

You, you're so far to blame
However, we do acknowledge that their negative attitude towards us had an impact.

You're part of this change
Because of them, we have become stronger and more determined.

I (knew?) so much of you
We knew who that person was and how they acted towards us.

I won't ever be the same
However, we have changed and will continue to grow and better ourselves.
