Lyrics
If I was an artist
If I were an artist
I’d paint you another story
I would create a different narrative for you
Where your thoughts turn into flowers
Where your thoughts transform into beautiful things like flowers
And I’d lay them in your sleep
And I would place them gently while you are asleep
If I was a poet
If I were a poet
I’d wear out the words from your lips
I would exhaust the words that come from your lips
And hang every star
And use them to decorate the sky with stars
Though I’m scared of the dark
Even though I am afraid of the dark
And hold it above your heart
I would hold the starry creation above your heart
And if I could
If I could
Know that I would
I want you to know that I would
Take you to Versailles
Take you to Versailles, as you once mentioned
Like you told me that time
Recalling a specific moment
But I hope this lullaby
But I offer this lullaby, hoping it suffices for tonight
Will be enough for tonight
Expressing a wish for the lullaby to be comforting
And if I could
If I could
Know that I would
I want you to know that I would
Build you a home
I would construct a home for you
And surrender my own
And willingly give up my own
I know you deserve more
Acknowledging that you deserve more than the world can offer
Than what this world could owe
Recognizing your inherent worth
So I’ll let you go
So, I will allow you to move on
