What If I Told You A Story Lyrics - Shawn Mendes

[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 

Has a dream about awake again (?) 

Yeah, we got so close I couldn't see 

Laughing when 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 up 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 that 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?
