If I Told You

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 is no fixing me 'Cause everybody has already tried Would you stay? Would you leave? I could wait It'll all come out eventually If I told you all the stupid things I've done I've blamed on 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 your family is gonna want you to stay 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've blamed on 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? Aww, could you love me anyway? So before we go any further here Let a week turn into another year There 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 is I don't want to let it slip away No, no, no Could you love me anyway? Please Could you love me anyway? Could you love me anyway? Oh Could you love me anyway?
