[fractured violin intro, bass boosted] [cut] [Verse 1] What if I told you I don't trust the way it feels When someone tries to like me 'Cause I never know what's real What if I told you That some nights I rehearse goodbyes Then the sun shows up and I swallow all my lines What if I told you I don’t talk about the past I break my own heart with the questions I never dare to ask [cut] What if I told you I got dreams I never chase What if I told you I’m fine..... As long as you don't ask me twice... // [Pre-chorus] If I opened up would you stay?..... Or would you .... walk away? (oohh-ohhh) [Chorus] What if I never missed you? Even when I said ... I do .... What if I told you I lied? Just so I can breathe for a while [post-chorus] Oh why — oh why — oh why, Do I do this To survive Oh I hate it — I hate it — I hate it.... Sometimes .... [Verse 3] What if I told you I'm afraid of simple things Like birthdays passing, promises and wedding rings What if I told you all the truth behind my smile Is held together with silence and denial [cut] Oh [Bridge] Would you hold the version of me That nobody sees? Would you stay with me When I'm in need? [cut, build up] Oh [interlude] What if I told you? Oh, oh-oh-ohh What if I told you? Oh, oh-oh-ohh Would it change anything? Or would it be the same .... Ohh-ohh [Final chorus] What if I never missed you? Even when I said ... I do .... What if I told you I lied? Just so I can breathe for a while [post-chorus] Oh why — oh why — oh why, Do I do this To survive Oh I hate it — I hate it — I hate it.... Sometimes~~ [Outro] Ohhoh
