lyrics

If You Asked Me To


Verse 1


It’s been a year
I still got these scars
They’ve come and went
But they still leave their marks


There’s no better way
For me to say
How much I care
If I had
To sum it up in words
These would be the words you heard


Chorus


I’d run away
Oh If you asked me to
I’d hide away
Oh if you asked me to
I’d swallow my pride
Oh if you asked me to
Oh oh oh if you asked me to


Verse 2


We’ve climbed up this hill
We’ve come so far
I didn’t predict
That it’d be this hard


If I could
I’d apologize
To all those I’ve hurt
But I can’t
So I won’t say a word
But you I promise not to hurt
Cuz


Chorus


I’d run away
Oh If you asked me to
I’d hide away
Oh if you asked me to
I’d swallow my pride
Oh if you asked me to
Oh oh oh if you asked me to


Bridge


I don’t know what to say
Why did everything just up and fade away?
But as long as you know that one thing will never change


Chorus


I’d run away
Oh If you asked me to
I’d hide away
Oh if you asked me to
I’d swallow my pride
Oh if you asked me to
Oh oh oh if you asked me to


I ran away
Because you asked me to
I hid away
Because you asked me to
I’d swallow my pride because you asked me to
Because you asked me to
