What If I Told You

What if I told you

That I’ve cried a million tears for you

And that I’m crying still

What if I told you

That you haunt my dreams at night

And I can’t get you out of my head during the day

What if I told you

That every time I hear that song

I think of you

What if I told you

That you were the first to make me

Truly and completely happy

What if I told you

That it doesn’t matter if you lied

That was then, this is now

What if I told you

That I trusted you with everything

And that I still do

What if I told you

That you ripped me to shreds

And I’m lying in pieces on the floor

What if I told you

That denial doesn’t suit me

And that love can’t be suppressed or forgotten

What if I told you

That you will always hold a special place

In this tattered and broken heart of mine

What if I told you

That it is not the quantity of love

But the quality that counts

What if I told you

That in spite of everything

I still want you more than any one and any thing

What if I told you

That I know you

And I know there’s a part of you that wants me still

What if I told you

That I forgive you for everything that was said

And everything that was not

What if I told you

That love isn’t something to fear

It’s something to embrace

What if I told you

That you don’t have to give me up

I’m not going anywhere

What if I told you

That the happiness you gave me

Was all I ever wanted

What if I told you

That I hold onto my memories with you

And they keep me warm at night

What if I told you

That I miss you like crazy

And I can’t stop thinking about you

What if I told you

That I’m in love with you

Even though I’m trying not to be

What if I told you

That I would be willing

To start all over again from scratch

What if I told you

Everything that’s in my heart

Would you take me back?
