If I Said

If I said I was a painter
Would you love and comfort me?
If I said I was a soldier would
You cry a tear for me?
If I said I was a poet would
You share your hopes with me?
If I said I was a dreamer would
You share your life with me?

If I asked you for forgiveness would
You smile and wonder why?
Would you say that you believed me
Or would it all fall down?
Would it all fall down?
Is it over is it over now?

If I said I was a liar would
You lose your faith in me?
If I said I was mistaken would
You share the blame with me?
If I said I was a memory
Would you still remember me?
If I said I was a warning
Would you shy away from me?

If I asked you for forgiveness would
You turn your face away?
Would you say I broke your heart
And would it all fall down?
Would it all fall down?
Is it over is it over now?

When a new tear falls
When I hear you cry softly
I would give the world to change the past
And when you walked away
And I saw what I was losing
Only me to blame, I wondered why, why, why

So it all comes back to haunt me
Like a song that sings your name
And it burns here to remind me
That it all comes back as pain

When I asked you for forgiveness
And the words drifted away
I watched them float in empty silence
As it all fell down as it all fell down
It was over it was over then
