[verse 1]

what if you’d lived, anne?
where would we be, then?
i bet the world would’ve turned out different if you hadn’t left it
but when you died, anne
that almost k!lled him
you took a piece of lincoln with ya that never got filled in

[chorus 1]

maybe if she was there to listen
he wouldn’t have felt so alone
he might not have been as ambitious
if he was happy here at home
maybe abe would have stayed in a small town
laughing and growing old
with a different wife, different children
a future he could never know
it’s purely hypothetical

[verse 2]

you were the first, anne
the first love he let in
after he lost his mom and sister, he felt abandoned
then a formal engagement
called off by an illness
but what if you’d lived instead of saying goodbye from a deathbed?
[chorus 2]

maybe if anne had gotten better
he wouldn’t have studied law
he’d be locked down in his 20s
no time to get political
there’d be no one to find potential
no one to lift him socially
a simple life in new salem
something more conventional
it’s purely hypothetical

[bridge]

they say he walked around, talking to himself for days
they hid all the razor blades
they say mr. lincoln very nearly went insane
this wasn’t his only heartbreak, no

[chorus 3]

her death was one of many
a long list of tragedies
a life that you probably wouldn’t wish on your enemy
and maybe it made no difference in the grand scheme of things
a man that was heading for greatness like it was destiny
but i’m a little skeptical
it’s something that we’ll never know
this is purely hypothetical
[outro]

what if you’d lived, anne?
what if you’d lived, anne?
