[Verse 1]
What if none of this happened?
It's nothin' like I imagined it
What if I wasn't this strong? Mm
What if it all just went different?
So many times I wish I woulda just listened
I wasn't ready for it all

[Pre-Chorus]
There's so many things I'd change, but I can't
There's so many things I said that I wish I left unsaid
Time's passin' me by
Gotta just laugh so I don't cry

[Chorus]
Oh, if you'd asked me then where I wanted to be
It'd look somethin' like this, livin' out my wildest of dreams
But life sometimes ain't always what it seems
But if you ask me now, all I've wanted to be
Is happy

[Post-Chorus]
Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
[Verse 2]
I remember when I was littlе
Before I knew that anyonе could be evil
These egos, some people
Playin' with my innocence like at a casino
And I refuse to be jaded (Ah-ah)
Still paintin' rainbows all over my face, oh
I've gotten used to the fall, fall

[Pre-Chorus]
So many things I'd change, but I can't
There's so many things I said that I wish I left unsaid
Time's passin' me by
Gotta just laugh so I don't die

[Chorus]
But if you'd asked me then where I wanted to be
It'd look somethin' like this, livin' out my wildest of dreams
Life sometimes ain't always what it seems
If you'd asked me now, all I've wanted to be
Is happy

[Post-Chorus]
Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
[Bridge]
If you'd asked me then where I wanted to be
It'd look somethin' like this, I'd do some things differently

[Chorus]
'Cause life sometimes ain't always what it seems
Life sometimes got me falling to my knees

[Outro]
If you'd asked me then, all I wanted to be
Is happy
