If I told you (Darrius Rucker)
What if I told you sometimes I lose my faith?
I wonder why someone like you would even talk to me.
What if I told you there’s no fixing me,
Cause everybody’s already tried?
Would you stay? Would you leave?
I could wait, it’ll all come out eventually.
If I told you about the stupid things I’ve done
I’d blamed on being young
But I was old enough to know, I know.
If I told you the mess I can be
When there’s no one there to see,
Would you look the other way cause you love me anyway?
What if I told you I don’t plan on staying here?
My dreams are a million miles away,
And I know your family’s gonna want you to stay,
You know what? I don’t blame them.
So I’ll say what I don’t want to,
And I’ll just pray you want what I do.
If I told you about the stupid things I’ve done
I’d blamed on being young
But I was old enough to know, I know.
If I told you the mess I can be
When there’s no one there to see,
Would you look the other way, cause you love me anyway?
So before we go any further here
Before we turn into another year
There’s something you probably don’t want to hear,
But you have to.
If I told you sometimes I get jealous
Sometimes I’m half crazy
Would you say the hell with me, the hell with me?
If I told you I barely know what love is
But boy, if that’s what this is I don’t want to let it slip away.
Could you love me anyway, please?
Could you love me anyway...
Baby, I’m begging you, please stay.
Because I love you anyway.
