In another life, what if I didn't take the joke so seriously? What if I would have been your friend? Would I have been the one to hold your hand? Would I have been the one who you'd hold in your lap, a kiss on the cheek, and a quick 'snap' from the camera? Would I have been the one with a tattoo on my hand similar to the one on yours? In another life, what if I hadn't broken your heart and cheated from the start? What if I didn't ruin your trust issue's and just had let it go? Would I be the one you'd marry? Would we have that white picket fence, big house to match the big family we dreamed of? Would I have been the one to make you so proud? In another life, what if I was a little nicer? What if I was a little braver? Would it have made a difference if I gave you those booklets of highlighted places to go visit? Would it have helped if I was a little prettier? What about if I was a whole lot more thinner? In another life, who would we all be? Would I have met you all, and would you have let me fall so dangerously and cruely? And would you make up the three ghosts that haunt me and know me the most?

In Another Life.
In another life, what if I didn't take the joke so seriously? What if I would have been your friend? Would I have been the one to hold your hand? Would I have been the one who you'd hold in your lap, a kiss on the cheek, and a quick 'snap' from the camera? Would I have been the one with a tattoo on my hand similar to the one on yours? In another life, what if I hadn't broken your heart and cheated from the start? What if I didn't ruin your trust issue's and just had let it go? Would I be the one you'd marry? Would we have that white picket fence, big house to match the big family we dreamed of? Would I have been the one to make you so proud? In another life, what if I was a little nicer? What if I was a little braver? Would it have made a difference if I gave you those booklets of highlighted places to go visit? Would it have helped if I was a little prettier? What about if I was a whole lot more thinner? In another life, who would we all be? Would I have met you all, and would you have let me fall so dangerously and cruely? And would you make up the three ghosts that haunt me and know me the most?
Inspired by the song The One That Got Away by Katy Perry.
