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
Yeah, we got so close I couldn´t see

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 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

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?
