If you told me how horrible I was,
I would've stopped,
I would've learnt to help myself,
I would've learnt to be myself,
Be better,
So, why didn't you tell me?
I know you feel scared,
I know you feel forced by me,
But I don't want to be someone else,
Judging you isn't my job,
I have to keep more room in my head space,
I need to learn to read certain situations,
Not assume your decisions.
I can see that I'm the cause of your angst and pain,
You want to ruin me like a saint,
I'm sorry for all the things I said,
If I could take them back,
Would you stay?
I'm regretting every mistake,
Oh, why couldn't life be perfect at all?
Why, oh why, couldn't life tell us the tales,
Our hopes and dreams,
And make them possible.
If you told me,
That would prove my ignorant behaviour,
I'm sorry,
But, if you told us all, we could have all been there,
We'll never know the answer if we don't know the question we're asking,
Right?
If you told me who I was,
Would I listen?
If you told me what's going on,
What difference would that make?
If you told me,
Would I have changed?
If you told me all the secrets,
If you told me all the fortune,
If you told me,
I'd still be wondering about the 'what if's'.
I know I could've been better to you,
I could've and should've been solving all my problems,
I'm sorry for not being there,
I wish you told me,
I'm lucky,
It isn't too late to make amends,
Lose the drama,
Be better,
I'll get better soon,
Cause I have to.
If you told me,
What would have life been?
Why am I talking about this?
Why am I still overthinking everything?
Why?
Would you have told me anyway?
If You Told Me............
