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
