Too much spare time got me thinking
Cut a deal with what I feel
How the hell do I kill my instincts?
Convince myself this isn’t real
I’ll be my whipping girl
If it’d make me feel like a man
It takes away the need to take a stand
I wanna clear it off my conscience
The price I’ll pay to be free
‘cause if the rest is so damn perfect
Then what the hell does that make me?
All I’m trying to be is everything I need
And yet- I’m trying not to need anything…
‘cause what if I had? (what if you don’t?)
What if I did? (what If you won’t?)
What if I failed (what if you won’t?)
What if I had? (what if you don’t?)
What if I did? (what If you won’t?)
What if I wasted this time trying hard to be
true to myself - did I do it all wrong?
I bet the guy moving the pieces
Turns out to be as messed up as me
‘cause when I’m high off the love I’m given
That’s when he brings me to my knees
And when I’m standing all alone at the gate
Will he tell me that it’s all too late?
‘cause what if I had? …
