What If

I'm scared of falling asleep
'Cause I tend to talk when I dream
And you're living up there for free

I'm worried you'll find out the truth
The feelings I'm keeping from you
And I dread to think if you knew

What I wanted to say
So I try to keep it down

Oh, what if I want you around?
Would I be letting you down?
If I kept the words in my mouth
What if I never find out?
If I never ask you to stay
Will you be the greatest mistake
That I ever make?
What if I, what if I, what if I never find out?

Sometimes I picture the scene
You laying there next to me
Warming your hands in my sleep

I've lost track of the ways
That I've tried to drag it out
Oh, I put on the brace
But that didn't slow it down

Oh, what if I want you around?
Would I be letting you down?
If I kept the words in my mouth
What if I never find out?
If I never ask you to stay
Will you be the greatest mistake
That I ever make?
What if I, what if I, what if I never find out?

Would I be letting us down?
What if I'm breaking your heart every day?
'Cause I'm too proud to say that I'm falling further now
What if I'm part of your game?
Just somebody else who can play the part, then
Hand my heart in, oh
What if I want you around
Would I be letting you down?
If I kept the words in my mouth
What if I never find out?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
