In your parents' house in mid July, I
You were hurting, and we both know why
Oh, the sun was beating down on us
I was crying, so I missed my flight

Oh, what does it matter
If it was twenty-somethin' years, or a day?
Oh, what does it matter?
If you still cannot find a way to cope

But what if I say
What if I say it?
What if I say
What if I say it?
What if I say
What if I say it?
What if I say it?
Does that make it real?
Does that make it real?

Yeah, you tell me that he changed your life
Then you look at me with guilty eyes
"Been feelin' like a lie
I'm sleepin' all day
I'm tired of bein' angry
I'm tired of bein' brave
I'm gettin' in my head
The fear comes in layers
Do you think I'm someone else now?
Do you see all my shame? "

Oh, what does it matter
If it was twenty-somethin' years, or a day?
Oh, what does it matter
If you still cannot find a way to cope?

But what if I say
What if I say it?
What if I say
What if I say it?
What if I say
What if I say it?
What if I say it?
Does that make it real?
Does that make it real?
