Lyrics Shawn Mendes – What If I Told You A Story
Text:
I know that I have made mistakes
Like when I introduced you as a friend
And I pray to God it’s not too late
As I’m dreaming wide awake again
Laughing while we painted my room, yeah
And all along the joke’s on me
Now you’re happier with someone new
What if I told you a story
All about someone who loves you
And what if I told you he’s sorry he made you wait
And what if I told you he’s dying ’cause he can’t change history
And what if I told you that someone was me
When I call you late, I know he’s there
But you still pick up and leave the bed
You speak low so he can’t hear
And it gives me hope there’s something left
What if I told you a story
All about someone who loves you
And what if I told you he’s sorry he made you wait
And what if I told you he’s dying ’cause he can’t change history
And what if I told you that someone was me
And when you ask me who I’m seeing now
I wanna say it’s you I’m thinking about
I’m tryna find the words somehow
To say the things that I never said
I’d do whatever it takes, I need to know what’d you say
Cause you’ve got a hold on me, yeah, you got a hold of me
What if I told you a story
All about someone who loves you
And what if I told you he’s dying ’cause he can’t change history
And what if I told you that someone was me
I’m ready to tell you a story
I am somebody who loves you
I wanna tell you I’m sorry
And darling just listen don’t worry
We could go down in history
Why don’t you let your somebody be me?
