What If Lyrics - Emilie Autumn

Here you sit on your high-backed chair 

Wonder how the view is from there 

I wouldn't know 'cause I like to sit 

Upon the floor, yeah upon the floor 

If you like we could play a game 

Let's pretend that we are the same 

But you will have to look much closer 

Than you do, closer than you do 

And I'm far too tired to stay here anymore 

And I don't care what you think anyway 

'Cause I think you were wrong about me 

Yeah what if you were, what if you were 

And what if I'm a snowstorm burning 

What if I'm a world unturning 

What if I'm an ocean 

Far too shallow, much too deep 

What if I'm the kindest demon 

Something you may not believe in 

What if I'm a siren 

Singing gentlemen to sleep 

I know you've got it figured out 

Tell me what I am all about 

And I just might learn a thing or two 

Hundred about you, maybe about you 

I'm the end of your telescope 

I don't change just to suit your vision 

'Cause I am bound by a fraying rope 

Around my hands, tied around my hands 

And you close your eyes 

When I say I'm breaking free 

And put your hands over both your ears 

Because you cannot stand to believe I'm not 

The perfect girl you thought 

Well what have I got to lose 

And what if I'm a weeping willow 

Laughing tears upon my pillow 

What if I'm a socialite 

Who wants to be alone 

What if I'm a toothless leopard 

What if I'm a sheepless shepherd 

What if I'm an angel 

Without wings to take me home 

You don't know me 

Never will, never will 

I'm outside your picture frame 

And the glass is breaking now 

You can't see me 

Never will, never will 

If you're never gonna see 

What if I'm a crowded desert 

Too much pain with little pleasure 

What if I'm the nicest place 

You never want to go 

What if I don't know who I am 

Will that keep us both from trying 

To find out and when you have 

Be sure to let me know 

What if I'm a snowstorm burning 

What if I'm a world unturning 

What if I'm an ocean 

Far too shallow, much too deep 

What if I'm the kindest demon 

Something you may not believe in 

What if I'm a siren 

Singing gentlemen to sleep 

Sleep 

Sleep
