[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 4] 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?
