What If I Learn (A Lyrical Poem)

What If I Learn

Verse 1:

What if I learn not to feel again

What if I learn not to care

What if you teach me how to stay away 

And teach me how to not be there

What if I hit the ground running 

And you never see it coming

What if I learn

What if I

Chorus:

What if I learn….. Not to love 

What if I learn….. To rise above

What if I learn…. To stand on my own

What if I learn….. Things i didn't know

 

Verse 2:

What if I wake up

What if I grow

What if I take up

Everything I know

What if I walk away - to stop the rain

What if I learn - to love the pain.

What if I learn... What if I....

Chorus:

What if I learn….. Not to love

What if I learn…. To rise above

What if I learn…. To stand on my own

What if I learn…. Things i didn't know

Mid-Section

I didn't know cold inside my soul

I didn't know cruel love left in the cold

I didn't know hard inside my heart

I didn't know how to erase the start

 I didn't know how to be a fool

I didn't know life… without you

Chorus:

So what if I learn….. Not to love

What if I learn…. To rise above

What if I learn…. To stand on my own

What if I learn…. Things I didn't know

Repeat Chorus (more powerfully, ending in soft voice on last words):

What if I learn….. Not to love

What if I learn…. To rise above

What if I learn…. To stand on my own

What if I learn…. Things I didn't know
