If I Could Tell You

I'd share with you how much I'm in love with him

I'd tell you how fucking happy I am

You'd see how my life is finally making sense

You'd see that I'm a stronger, better man

I'd tell you all the things that I kept hidden

I'd tell you about the times I gave up on living

You'd feel the pain and torment and why I lied

And how I've grown and learned to love because he's by my side

But time goes on and we drift apart

And you'll never even know me or my scars

Ooh, you would see me in a dazzling prism light

Feel my love like stars igniting in the night

Without all the little things that never really matter

Maybe you'd understand me a little better

You'd see the real beautiful me

If I could tell you

I'd show you all the photographs I've taken since

I'd show you my heart and all that lives within

You'd cheer us on as we fight for love

And say prayers for us to the good Lord above

But time goes on and we drift apart

And you'll never even know me or my scars

Ooh, you would see me in a dazzling prism light

Feel my love like stars igniting in the night

Without all the little things that never really matter

Maybe you'd understand me a little better

You'd see the real beautiful me

If I could tell you

If I could tell you, maybe you'd love me

If I could tell you, maybe you'd still want me

If I could show you how it's still the same me

Maybe everything would be alright

Maybe who I am could even be fine

But time goes on and we drift apart

And you'll never even know me or my scars

Ooh, you would see me in a dazzling prism light

Feel my love like stars igniting in the night

Without all the little things that never really matter

Maybe you'd understand me a little better

You'd see the real beautiful me

If I could tell you

If I could tell you, if I could tell you

If I could tell you, if I could tell you
