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're laying there next to mе

Warming your hands in my sleep

I've lost track of the ways

That I've triеd 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
