What If I Told You
A theatrical male voice leads, with emo-styled intensity atop a moody pop arrangement, Layers of dark synths and a persistent, droning bass drive the verses, while crisp electronic percussion gives the track tension, Random glitch elements, Chorus bloom with melodic chord changes, heightening its frustrating paranoid edge, Close to mic singing, professional production, bass boosted.

Verse 1
What if I told you
I don't trust the way it feels
When someone tries to like me
'Cause I never know what's real
What if I told you
That some nights I rehearse goodbyes
Then the sun shows up
and I swallow all my lines
What if I told you
I don’t talk about the past
I break my own heart with the questions
I never dare to ask
cut
What if I told you
I got dreams I never chase
What if I told you I’m fine.....
As long as you don't ask me twice... //
Pre-chorus
If I opened up
would you stay?.....
Or would you .... walk away?
(oohh-ohhh)
Chorus
What if I never missed you?
Even when I said ... I do ....
What if I told you I lied?
Just so I can breathe for a while
post-chorus
Oh why — oh why — oh why,
Do I do this
To survive
Oh I hate it — I hate it — I hate it....
Sometimes ....
Verse 3
What if I told you
I'm afraid of simple things
Like birthdays passing,
promises and wedding rings
What if I told you
all the truth behind my smile
Is held together
with silence and denial
cut
Oh
Bridge
Would you hold the version of me
That nobody sees?
Would you stay with me
When I'm in need?
cut, build up
Oh
interlude
What if I told you? Oh, oh-oh-ohh
What if I told you? Oh, oh-oh-ohh
Would it change anything?
Or would it be the same ....
Ohh-ohh
Final chorus
What if I never missed you?
Even when I said ... I do ....
What if I told you I lied?
Just so I can breathe for a while
post-chorus
Oh why — oh why — oh why,
Do I do this
To survive
Oh I hate it — I hate it — I hate it....
Sometimes~~
Outro
Ohhoh
