Snapshots in my phone, your smile frozen in time
Back in high school days when everything seemed fine
Shoulda coulda woulda - yeah that's my state of mind
Replay that moment, wish I wasn't so blind
(Sha-la-la, what if, sha-la-la)
Cafeteria lunch breaks, cherry blossoms in May
Notes passed in class, games we used to play
My heart was screaming but my lips stayed sealed
Now these memories hit different, wounds never healed
If only I said it that day (that day)
Would our story have gone a different way? (different way)
These regrets keep playing like a broken mixtape
But I'm learning to dance with my mistakes
(Ba-dum ba-dum, hey!)
Scrolling through Instagram, your life's moving on
While I'm stuck here rappin' bout what could've gone wrong
Like a Netflix series with no final episode
These \"what ifs\" weighing heavy on this lonely road
(Skrrt skrrt, moving forward though)
But yo, check it -
Every L is just a lesson in disguise
Growing pains make you stronger, make you wise
Maybe silence back then was just not our time
Now I'm writing our story through these rhymes
If only I said it that day (that day)
Would our story have gone a different way? (different way)
These regrets keep playing like a broken mixtape
But I'm learning to dance with my mistakes
Yesterday's regrets don't define tomorrow's page
Time to flip the script, step up on life's stage
Missed chances taught me - now I'm breaking free
From the ghost of \"what if\" - yeah, this is me
(One more time!)
If only I said it that day...
But tomorrow's calling, and I'm on my way
(Sha-la-la, moving on)
