A#
Where do I begin? How far do I go
How do you explain you love
someone more than they'll ever know?
I've said so many prayers,
I've said so many lies
Believe that I don't feel the way
I feel a thousand times

      Cm                                 Dm
But I love the being with you through it all
  D#                               F
Probably swore that I would never fall

Chorus:
           A#           Gm
What If I did, what if I do
            D#                 F
What if I dream, what if it's you
               Gm                         F      A#
What if all I wanna be is the one you're running to
                 Cm                 D#
I love you in so many ways I'm told
I'm not supposed to
F               A#
But what if I do
But what if I do

Some wish for a dream, I wished for a friend
Then I looked in the eyes,
I'll never see the same again
There's love that lifts you up
and love that lets you down
Then you find the kind of love you
can't live a day without

And the one thing I don't tell you is the truth
Oh, I'll never say that I was made to love you

Chorus:
But what if I did, and what if I do?
What if I dream and what if you knew?
And what if all I want to be is
the one you're running to?
I love you in so many ways
I'm told I'm not supposed to
What if I do?

I don’t know how to say that you're the one
Would change the way I see the day,
when every day is done

Chorus:
But what if I did and what if I do?
What if I was meant for someone? What if it's you?
And what if all I want to be is the one
you're running to
I love you in so many ways
I know I'm not supposed to
What if I do?
And what if I do?
