What If I Told You A Story

Hm, yeah
I know that I have made mistakes
Like when I introduced you as a friend
And I pray to God it's not too late
As I'm dreaming wide awake again
Yeah, we got so close I couldn't see
Laughing while we paint my room, yeah
And all along the joke's on me
Now you're happier with someone new

And what if I told you a story
All about someone who loves you?
And what if I told you he's sorry he made you wait?
And what if I told you he's dying 'cause he can't change history?
And what if I told you that someone was me?

When I call you late, I know he's there
But you still pick up and leave the bed
You speak low so he can't hear
And it gives me hope there's something left

What if I told you a story
All about someone who loves you?
And what if I told you he's sorry he made you wait?
And what if I told you he's dying 'cause he can't change history?
And what if I told you that someone was me?

And when you ask me who I'm seeing now
I wanna say it's you I'm thinking about
I'm tryna find the words somehow
To say the things that I never said
I'd do whatever it takes
I need to know what'd you say
Cause you've got a hold on me
Yeah, you got a hold of me, yeah

If I told you a story
All about someone who loves you?
And what if I told you he's sorry he made you wait?
And what if I told you he's dying 'cause he can't change history?
And what if I told you that someone was me?
