"If I Told You" Lyrics

What if I told you about my little nothing town
The two room house where I came from
The man that I got my name from
I don't even know where he is now
What if I told you sometimes I lose my faith
I wonder why someone like you would even talk to me
What if I told you there's no fixing me
Because everybody has already tried.

Would you stay
Would you leave
I could wait
It will all come out eventually.

Chorus:

If I told you all the stupid things I've done
I blamed being young, but I was old enough to know I know
If I told you the mess that I can be when there's no one there to see
Could you look the other way
Could you love me anyway.

What if I told you I don't plan on staying here
My dreams are a million miles away
And I know you're family is gonna want you to stay
And you know what, I don't blame 'em.

So I'll say
What I don't want to
And I'll just pray you want what I do.

If I told you all the stupid things I've done
I blamed being young, but I was old enough to know I know
If I told you the mess that I can be when there's no one there to see
Could you look the other way
Could you love me anyway.

So before we go any further here
Let a week turn into another year
There's some things you probably don't wanna hear but you have to.

If I told you sometimes I get jealous
Sometimes I'm half crazy
Would you say the hell with me, the hell with me?
If I told you I barely know what love is
But girl, if that's what this I don't want to let it slip away
Could you love me anyway, please?
Could you love me anyway?
