What If I Told?

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:
