So if you wanted to know if it happened before |
|
1 |
|
I'd hate to be honest, you'd hate to be sure. |
|
If you wanted to know that it happened before |
|
On the kitchen counter, the living room floor. |
|
If you wanted to know, what did you want to hear? |
|
The simple answer or the one that's sincere? |
|
If you wanted to know, it was better before |
|

|
But if you didn't want to know |
|
Why'd you ask me? |
|
You should have known what I was going to say. |
|
And if you didn't want to know that I actually |
|
Had to be honest then I'll be on my way. |
|
So if you wanted to guess how we got in this mess |
|
You think you're a victim, I think you're obsessed. |
|
If you wanted to guess how we got in this mess |
|
The more that you lecture, the more we digress. |
|
You know I'll say it again as if you didn't hear. |
|
My words and motives were perfectly clear. |
|
If you wanted to know, it was better before |
|
But if you didn't want to know |
|
Why'd you ask me? |
|
You should have known what I was going to say. |
|
And if you didn't want to know that I actually |
|
Had to be honest then I'll be on my way. |
|
If it seemed like an easy answer |
|
It's cause I knew what I wanted to say. |
|
And if you weren't prepared for the truth then I dare you |
|
To tell me how you wanted this game to be played. |
|
If every reaction has an opposite reaction |
|
What'd you think would happen? |
|
What'd you think was gonna happen? |
|
If you wanted to hear what you wanted to hear |
|
A little white lie I could whisper into your ear. |
|
But if I lie, then I'll do it out loud |
|
Put a banner on a plane, fly it over a crowd. |
|
But if you didn't want to know |
|
why'd you ask me? |
|
You should have known what I was going to say. |
|
And if every reaction has an opposite reaction |
|
What'd you think would happen? |
|
What'd you think was gonna happen? |
