[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

[Verse 1]
Hello, hello, call me cold, call me icy
I've been buildin' up a wall to protect my heart
I get nervous to reveal what's inside me
I'm lookin' at you, I'm tellin' the truth
'Cause I wanna show you sides that you ain't seen
But I'm scared in case you run when I fall apart
Think I'm ready to reveal what's inside me
I'm lookin' at you, now tell me the truth, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
So if I cried, would you do anything to keep me safe?
Would you stand by or would my honesty make you afraid?
Yeah, if I cried, would you know all the things to do
Would you, would you-ou?
So if I cried, would you do anything to feel my pain?
Would you stand by or would you hide and slowly fade away?
Yeah, if I cried, would you know all the things to do
Would you, would you-ou?

[Verse 2]
Would you understand how I feel?
Would you give me patience? Be real
Make me smile, keep the water so still (So still, so still)
Oh, would you make sure I was alright?
Would you wrap your arms all around my body, so tight?
I need these things to feel okay with you
Now tell me the truth, yeah

[Chorus]
So if I cried, would you do anything to keep me safe?
Would you stand by or would my honesty make you afraid?
Yeah, if I cried, would you know all the things to do
Would you, would you-ou?
So if I cried, would you do anything to feel my pain?
Would you stand by or would you hide and slowly fade away?
Yeah, if I cried, would you know all the things to do
Would you, would you-ou?

[Post-Chorus]
If I, if I, if I, if I, if I
If I, if I, if I, if I, if I
If I, if I, if I, if I, if I
If I, if I, if I, oh-oh
If I, if I, if I, if I (if I, if I)

[Chorus]
So if I cried, would you do anything to feel my pain?
Would you stand by or would hide and slowly fade away?
Yeah, if I cried, would you know all the things to do
Would you, would you-ou? (If I, if I, if I, if I, if I)
So if I cried, would you do anything to feel my pain?
Would you stand by or would you hide and slowly fade away?
Yeah, if I cried, would you know all the things to do
Would you, would you-ou?

Charli XCX

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
