If I knew the truth then I could lie to you
If I knew just where and why I stood
If I knew how to betray you
Maybe I would
If I had a watch then I could take my time
If I had to love you I just might
If I knew the law I could commit a crime
But it wouldn't be right, no it wouldn't be right
My red white blue princess
Who would guess
How she scares me so
I'll never know
If I knew how scared you were I wouldn't have laughed
When you told me peace may never come
Why don't you finish your story
And I will just hum
If you let me go then I could reach for you
If you pulled away then I could fall
If I knew how to forget you
God help us all
My red white blue princess
Who would guess
How she scares me so
And if I knew the truth then I could lie to you
