If I said I was a painter
          b♭       c       g
Would you love and comfort me?
If I said I was a soldier
Would you cry a tear for me?

If I said I was a poet
Would you share your hopes with me?
If I said I was a dreamer
Would you share your life with me?

  If I asked you for forgiveness
  Would you smile and wonder why?
  Would you say that you believed me or

If I said I was a liar
Would you lose your faith in me?
If I said I was mistaken
Would you share the blame with me?

If I said I was a memory
Would you still remember me?
If I said I was a warning
Would you shy away from me?

  If I asked you for forgiveness
  Would you turn your face away?
  Would you say I broke your heart and

!

So it all comes back to haunt me
Like a song that sings your name
And it burns here to remind me
That it all comes back as pain

  When I asked you for forgiveness
  And the words drifted away
  I watched them float in empty silence

    As it all fell down
    As it all fell down
    It was over
    It was over... then
