Lyrics for What If I Say It?

In your parents' house in mid July You were hurting, and we both know why Oh, the sun was beating down on us I was crying, so I missed my flight Oh, what does it matter If it was 20-somethin' years, or a day? (Oh) Oh, what does it matter If you still cannot find a way to cope? But what if I say, what if I say it? What if I say it? What if I say it? What if I say, what if I say it? What if I say it? Does that make it real? Does that make it real? Yeah, you tell me that he changed your life Then you look at me with guilty eyes "Been feelin' like a lie, I'm sleepin' all day I'm tired of bein' angry, I'm tired of bein' brave I'm gettin' in my head, the fear comes in layers Do you think I'm someone else now? Do you see all my shame?" Oh, what does it matter If it was 20-somethin' years, or a day? (Oh) Oh, what does it matter If you still cannot find a way to cope? But what if I say, what if I say it? What if I say it? What if I say it? What if I say, what if I say it? What if I say it? Does that make it real? Does that make it real?
