What If I Told?

Lyrics

PETER: Wake up and realize nothing's changed Pretend we never happened You and I, you and I, no you and I– Denied we ever were I was in love, you walked away So is it just that easy? What was I, what was I, what was I to you? You made me feel so small I see you… What if I told the world your story? What I showed them what you've done? What if I went and shared your secret? What if I let them know I'm someone? NICK (SPOKEN): Come on, we're way late JASON (SPOKEN): I'm not going NICK (SPOKEN): It's confession-it's not optional JASON (SPOKEN): I got nothing to confess, tell them I'm sick NICK (SPOKEN): You got nothing to confess? Ivy's looking for you, do you want the room tonight? JASON (SPOKEN): No, it's cool NICK (SPOKEN): Suit yourself, hey...is she any good? JASON (SPOKEN): She's great PETER: You think you've got it all mapped out– Guess what? I know you're damaged! 'Faggot' this, 'faggot' that, all the self-loathing; How can you not see? Afraid to look too closely–why? You might find your reflection Staring back, staring back, laughing at you At all your stupid games! I see you… What if I told the world our story? What if I showed them what we've done? What if I went and shared our secret? What if I let them know we're someone! JASON (SPOKEN): Hey, Dad...I know it's the middle of the day, I just wanted to...... Friday. I-I'm pitching. I am gonna win, yep, I promise. I just got back last night. No, it was all guys on the boat, but....there's a girl here-Ivy, you'd like her JASON (SUNG): What if I were different? If I wasn't what you thought? If you knew I wasn't you? And if you saw how hard I fought? Would you even listen? Would you read between the lines? If I didn't play this game? Would you want to know my name? What if I told… BOYS: Walk this way JASON: Oh, what if I told?..... GIRLS: Don't sing that song JASON: What if I told?.... BOYS: Don't dance too close JASON: What if I told?.... ENSEMBLE: Don't stare too long JASON: What have I told you? ENSEMBLE: I won't love you JASON: What have I told you?! ENSEMBLE: I will leave you JASON: What if I told you?! ENSEMBLE: They will hate you! JASON: What if I told you? ENSEMBLE: I won't believe you! What have I told you? JASON: What ifI told you…? ENSEMBLE: What have I told you? JASON: What if I told you?! ENSEMBLE: What have I told you?! JASON: (SPOKEN) No… BOYS: What have I told you?! JASON: (SPOKEN) Stop GIRLS: What have I told you?! JASON: (SPOKEN) Go! COMPANY: What have I told you?! JASON (SPOKEN): Stop! ENSEMBLE: What have I told you?! JASON: Go! ENSEMBLE: Be a man JASON AND ENSEMBLE: Be a man, be a man!
