Pretty sure. もしも変わらなければ is a negative conditional. In Japanese sentence structure, it is left in present tense, but leaving it that way in English implies it's something subject to change in the future. From context, we know that to not be true.

The line is more or les repeated in the second verse, where she says that if he had not changed, the ending would have been different. The line refers to the deceased Cherubim, and as such it's something no "If" can change, so, despite being on present tense, it becomes past tense in English to keep it consistent
