What If I Songtext
von Hartmann

What if I?
What if I?

Driving home from work, another day from nine to five
Another traffic jam will soon be killing me
(What if I?)
As soon as I stop thinking ′bout the sense of life
I'm sure it′s not my destiny to make my body ache
(What if I?)
Why do I run off and lock my mouth
And tell them what I feel inside?
Think it's time to free my mind

What if I run, what if I hide
What if I leave this world behind
Before another day goes by?
What if I think, what would I choose
If there was nothing left to lose?
This life's too short to waste my time
Until the day I die


Tell myself I′m strong enough and tough enough to bear this cross
Hoping that my hurtin′ back won't break
(What if I?)
As soon as I stop thinking ′bout the sense of life
I'm sure it′s not my destiny to make my body ache
(What if I?)
Why do I run off and break these chains that bind me
Do just what I need to do, they tell I'm a fool

What if I run, what if I hide
What if I leave this world behind
Before another day goes by?
What if I think, what would I choose
If there was nothing left to lose?
This life′s too short to waste my time
Until the day I die

What if I run, what if I hide
What if I leave this world behind
Before another day goes by?
What if I?
What if I run, what if I hide
What if I leave this world behind
Before another day goes by?
What if I think, what would I choose
If there was nothing left to lose?
This life's too short to waste my time
Until the day I die


(What if I, what if I, what if I, what if I)
What if I?
What if I, what if I, ooh, what if I
Don't wait until I die?
