about

If You Asked Me is a song I wrote when somebody tried to pressure me into going to a party.
Sam and I worked on some guitar tracks for this song. It took us an hour of recording before we realized that it wasn't going to work out and we had to cut most of them. So, this song is dedicated to the lost guitar tracks of If You Asked Me.
And in case you were wondering, I did not go to the party and had a great time watching The Office instead.

lyrics

If you asked me what I'm doing here,
I wouldn't have an answer,
it wouldn't be so clear.
If you asked me why I stay at home,
rather be alone
than with you, dear.

I really don't think that you're worth the time
don't think that you're on my mind,
really don't think that you're all that.
I really don't think that you're worth the while,
really don't think that you make me smile,
really don't think that you're all that.

You think you're so cute,
doing what you want, doing what you want.
You think you're so cool,
being who you're not, being who you're not.
You're so proud of yourself.
You've never known yourself or known anyone else.
You're so proud of yourself.
You've never known yourself or known anyone else.

If you asked me what I'm thinking now,
you'd say that you don't know me
and then I'd show you how.
If you asked me why I'm saying no,
I would resist the pressure,
I'm never gonna go.


I really don't think that you're worth the time
don't think that you're on my mind,
really don't think that you're all that.
I really don't think that you're worth the while,
really don't think that you make me smile,
really don't think that you're all that.

You think you're so cute,
doing what you want, doing what you want.
You think you're so cool,
being who you're not, being who you're not.
You're so proud of yourself.
You've never known yourself or known anyone else.
You're so proud of yourself.
You've never known yourself or known anyone else.

I'm not your mirror
to reflect what you think on me.
I'm thinking clearer,
now I know what you want me to be.
I'm not your audience.
Why don't you find someone else to laugh at everything you say?
I'm not your mirror,
don't know what you want me to say.

You think you're so cute,
doing what you want, doing what you want.
You think you're so cool,
being who you're not, being who you're not.
You're so proud of yourself.
You've never known yourself or known anyone else.
You're so proud of yourself.
You've never known yourself or known anyone else.

If you asked me...
If you asked me...
If you asked me...
