Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You were a smoking gun
Finger on the trigger of a loaded one
Seething violence behind your eyes
And above your gums
A storm in a bottle, ready to break
Every word a bullet, every move a mistake
I stood there frozen, couldn’t look away
Watched the fuse burn down, day after day
[Pre-Chorus]
Would I have been enough if I didn’t see
The world through my green eyes, so differently?
If I traded my lens for yours, clear and cold
Would the cracks in the glass have been made at all?
[Chorus]
What then? What then?
If I loved you blind, would it have mended?
What then? What then?
Just pretend, pretend it never ended
What then? What then?
If I silenced my voice, let yours be the only sound
What then? What then?
What then?
[Verse 2]
You said I was too soft, too full of light
That my kindness was a weakness, a waste of time
I guess I gave in, tried to harden my skin
But my heart kept bleeding, let the walls cave in
You called it naivety, I called it hope
But hope’s just a ghost when the truth’s a rope
Tied around my throat, pulling tight
As I whispered, “Please, I loved you right”
[Pre-Chorus]
Would I have been enough if I didn’t see
The world through my green eyes, so differently?
If I traded my lens for yours, clear and cold
Would the cracks in the glass been made at all?
[Chorus]
What then? What then?
If I loved you blind, would it have mended?
What then? What then?
Just pretend, pretend it never ended
What then? What then?
If I silenced my voice, let yours be the only sound
What then? What then?
What then?
[Bridge]
When the smoke first cleared signifying your exit
I began to assess the damage
I searched for a reason, a lesson
But some questions don’t get answers, just echoes
Echoes of “what then?” where the silence grows
[Chorus – Repeat]
What then? What then?
If I loved you blind, would it have mended?
What then? What then?
Just pretend, pretend it never ended
What then? What then?
If I silenced my voice, let yours be the only sound
What then? What then?
What then?
[Outro]
Pretend… pretend…
Pretend… what then?
Pretend…
