"Who Would I Be" lyrics

If you were making a movie, who would I be?
The leading lady or just a couple scenes?
In your cinematic classic, would the Oscar go to me?
If you were making a movie, who would I be?

If you were writing a story, who would I be?
Would I play the hero where you get saved by me?
Am I on the last page
Or the heartbreak somewhere around chapter three?
If you were writing the story, who would I be?

Yeah, I've got questions
'Cause my heart is falling hard you had me at hello
Do I make it to your ending
Kissing in the rain when the credits roll?
Yeah, I just wanna know

If you were writing a song about me
How would you write me in a melody?
Is it rock-and-roll or Motown soul or Willie Nelson off the beat?
If you were writing a song about me

Yeah, I've got questions
'Cause my heart is falling hard you had me at hello
Do I make it to your ending
Kissing in the rain when the credits roll?
Yeah, I just wanna know

If you were writing history, who would I be?
The one that got away or the one you keep?
Am I the part that you leave out
Or on every page they read?
If you were writing history, who would I be?
