The story behind the song

"As If" tells a story of love's fleeting nature, even when we wish it weren't so. The song's narrator holds onto the hope that her deep feelings for her partner will never disappear, even as they ultimately do. Despite this reality, she chooses to live and act as if those feelings are still as strong as ever. Released on Sara Evans's 2007 Greatest Hits album, it's a reflection on the bittersweet dance of holding onto a love that's fading. It plays like a heartfelt, slightly wistful embrace of a past emotion.
