Dear Evan Hansen Lyrics [Genderbend]

If I Could Tell Him

EMMA
She said
There's nothing like your smile
Sort of subtle and perfect and real
She said
You never knew how wonderful
That smile could make someone feel

And she knew
Whenever you get bored
You scribble stars on the cuffs of your jeans
And she noticed
That you still fill out the quizzes
that they put in those sports magazines

But she kept it all inside her head
What she saw she left unsaid
And though she wanted to
She couldn't talk to you
She couldn't find the way
But she would always say

If I could tell him
Tell him everything I see
If I could tell him
How he's everything to me
But we're a million worlds apart
And I don't know how I would even start
If I could tell him
If I could tell him

ZAYN: (spoken) Did she say anything else?

EMMA: (spoken) About you?

ZAYN: Never mind, I don't really care

EMMA: (spoken) No, no, no, she said so many things,
I'm just trying to remember the best ones.

EMMA She thought
You looked really pretty, er-
It looked pretty cool when you put indigo streaks in your hair

ZAYN: (spoken) She did?!

EMMA And she wondered how you learned to dance
Like all the rest of the world isn't there

But she kept it all inside her head
What she saw she left unsaid

If I could tell him
Tell him everything I see
If I could tell him
How he's everything to me

EMMA AND ZAYN But we're a million worlds apart

EMMA And I don't know how I would even start if I could tell him

If I could tell him
But what do you do
When there's this great divide

ZAYN She just seemed so far away

EMMA
And what do you do
When the distance is too wide

ZAYN I think I don't know anything

EMMA And how do you say I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

But we're a million worlds apart
And I don't know how I would even start
If I could tell him
If I could
