What If
I didn't know you wanted me
I didn't know you wanted me
And if you really did then
Why did you not just tell me?
I didn't know you wanted me
It ain't easier to close your mouth
When I was left alone and broken
How could you just stand right by
And watch me hurt
Couldn't you just ask?
Something I just won't get past
Why can't you just believe in me?
Why can't you just believe in me?
And if you really don't then
Just walk away and leave it
Why can't you just believe in me?
Cuz it's easier to move along
When you aren't telling me I'll fail
So putting it into my song
At least will help me get my focus back
And ward off your attack
What if I end up on my face
Regretting everything I've left
Because I thought that I would
Get it right and be the one exception
And what if talent's not enough
The push and pull will tear me up
And I will really break my back
A dozen times to make it
And once I got that big ol' break
Would it be enough to make me say
That I was right and it was all
Worth the painful memories
But what happens when it's everything
I thought that it could be
And it all manages to make me grateful
For the things that matter most to me
I guess there's no guarantee
I didn't know you wanted me
And if you really did then
Why did you not just tell me?
I didn't know you wanted me
It ain't easier to close your mouth
When I was left alone and broken
How could you just stand right by
And watch me hurt
Couldn't you just ask?
Something I just won't get past
Why can't you just believe in me?
Why can't you just believe in me?
And if you really don't then
Just walk away and leave it
Why can't you just believe in me?
Cuz it's easier to move along
When you aren't telling me I'll fail
So putting it into my song
At least will help me get my focus back
And ward off your attack
What if I end up on my face
Regretting everything I've left
Because I thought that I would
Get it right and be the one exception
And what if talent's not enough
The push and pull will tear me up
And I will really break my back
A dozen times to make it
And once I got that big ol' break
Would it be enough to make me say
That I was right and it was all
Worth the painful memories
But what happens when it's everything
I thought that it could be
And it all manages to make me grateful
For the things that matter most to me
I guess there's no guarantee
