[Verse 1:] What if I said I would break your heart? What if I said I have problems that made me mean? What if I knew I would just rip your mind apart Would you let me out?

[Verse 2:] What if I said I was just too young? What if I said I was built on bricks of carelessness and crumbs What if I said I'd be gone before I could come Would you let me out?
