Would You Let Me

What if I gave you the moon
What if I stole you a star
What if I told you how lovely you are
Then would you let me finish a senten— What?

What if I cut out my heart
Using a grapefruit spoon
What if I wrote you this beautiful tune in my blood
Would you let me finish a senten— What?

What if I wired your jaw
Then could I finish a sen— No, I guess not

La la la la la la la sometimes I think you're pissed for no good reason
La la la la la la and if you'd only hear me out
La la la la la la la la la la you'd still be pissed
La la la la but at least you'd have a reason

I know, listen, no I'm not, you're a, can't we, no I'm not, listen
What about you?
I'm sure, wait, but that was, why, don't be, years ago, you always
Well, that may be true...
Maybe I do that

What if I said it's my fault
Copped to the whole damn thing
What if I even said I'd go in for counseling
Then...
would you let me...
finish...
a senten...ce?

Thanks.
