Would you laugh at me
If I told you how I feel?
Would you laugh at me
If I said my love was real?
Would you deny me
If I faced you?
Would you deny me
Your love you said was true?
Would you prevent me
If I was able to be happy?
Would you prevent me
If I wanted to leave suddenly?
Would you protect me
From myself if need be?
Would you protect me
From anything that will hurt me?
Would you love me
If I did everything right?
Would you love me
If I lived through tonight?
Would you care for me
If I asked you to?
Would you care for me
If I didn't care for you?
Would you ask about me
If I never came around?
Would you ask about me
If I never came down?
Would you tell me you love me
If I asked you to?
Would you tell me you love me
Even if you knew it wasn't true?
Would you lie to me
If that's what I wanted to hear?
Would you lie to me
If you knew it would keep me here?
Would you be a friend to me
When nobody else will?
Would you be a friend to me
If I wanted you to hold me still?
Would you hate me
If I said I loved you?
Would you hate me
If I didn't trust you?
Would you laugh at me
For respecting you?
Would you laugh at me
For loving you?
