What if I said yes
What if I'd gone out that night
What if you'd turned left
Everything would've turned out alright
What if I'd spoke up
What'd if I'd took the keys
What if I had tried a little harder instead of always trying to please
Joey I'm so sorry
Ohh can you hear me
Joey I'm so sorry
What if I'd said no
What if we'd never fell in love
What if we'd gone slow
Or a little be faster and broken up
Would I know this hurt
Would I feel this pain
Do you know that with all I have left in my very last breath I will call your name
Joey I'm so sorry
Ohoohoh can you hear me?
Joey I'm so sorry
Were you sad
Were you scared
Did you wish for a prayer to be free
Was it quiet and cold
Was it light or too dark to see
And did you reach for me
Joey I'm so sorry
Ohh can you hear me?
Joey I'm so sorry
Oohhhohh can you hear me
Joey I'm so...
Joey I'm so... sorry
Actually if you listen to the first part of it its called night swim. they had got into it and he went swimming and he drowned the only reason i know is i watched her on tv and she told about it! it is a tru song about her and her boyfriend
joey dies from a car accident that involved drinking. she's apologizing for not going out that night, because if she had maybe he'd still be alive, and she wouldn't be going through the pain of losing him.
