about

This is the 2nd track from my upcoming EP. I wrote this song about being a teenager and sometimes just wanting to be left alone and shutting the world out.

What If I has recevied a 5* rating from the UK Song Writing Competition and is through to the semi final along with 2 of my other songs The Real Me and Everything You Do. It was also the first no 1 on the Express FM local music chart.

lyrics

What if I wanna lay in bed all day and sleep away the things that I don’t wanna face.
What if I let these 4 walls crumble down, surround myself in rubble from the bricks I built to keep away

All of the things I don’t wanna do,
The pressures I can’t live up to
The rain that keeps the sky’s grey
instead of perfect blue,
What if I
What if I
What if I

What if I don’t wanna talk about it.
What if I just shut it all out
Let the minutes turn to hours
Let the hours turn to days that pass me by
And What if I just let the world keep turning
Would it be so bad if I wasted time
I don’t see nothing wrong with taking
A little time for making up my mind
What if I

What if I bury my head in the sand
Ignore everything that's going on around me
What if I just slam the door closed, refuse to answer the questions I don't know

All of the things I don’t wanna do,
The pressures I can’t live up to
Don't worry about the darkness, coz that's when the stars shine through
What if I
What if I
What if I

What if I don’t wanna talk about it.
What if I just shut it all out
Let the minutes turn to hours
Let the hours turn to days that pass me by
And What if I just let the world keep turning
Would it be so bad if I wasted time
I don’t see nothing wrong with taking
A little time for making up my mind
What if I

What if I don't wanna talk
I'm not trying to make you understand, what's going on inside my head, there's things I don't need
to share

What if I don’t wanna talk about it.
What if I just shut it all out
Let the minutes turn to hours
Let the hours turn to days that pass me by
And What if I just let the world keep turning
Would it be so bad if I wasted time
I don’t see nothing wrong with taking
A little time for making up my mind
What if I
What if I, What if I
