IF YOU LOVED ME – Written by Carroll Bryant
It was early in the morning when I
Cut myself shaving and I
Didn’t even feel it
For my only thought was on you
Yes I’m flimsy with my feelings
At times I tend to forget
That you’re with me
That you left me
And the pain will get to me yet
Give it time I tell myself
In time she will regret
If you loved me you would tell me
You would save me from this hell
But you didn’t
And you’ll never
No, you never will
If you loved me you wouldn’t leave me
You would take me by the hand
But you didn’t
And you’ll never
No, you never will
You know you can’t
It was easy in the evening when I
Drank myself silly and I
Passed out forever
Waking up again to believe
Yes I’m lonely with my feelings
At times I tend to expect
That you’ll hear me
That you hate me
And the truth will get to me yet
Give it time I tell myself
In time she will regret
If you loved me you would tell me
You would save me from this hell
But you didn’t
And you’ll never
No, you never will
If you loved me you wouldn’t leave me
You would take me by the hand
But you didn’t
And you’ll never
No, you never will
You know you can’t
This dizzy world keeps getting me down
My weakest moment is right about now
I fall to pieces at the thought
I crawl to save myself from you
From me
If you loved me you would bring me
You would offer me some help
But you didn’t
And you’ll never
No, you never will
If you loved me you wouldn’t break me
You would finally take a stand
But you didn’t
And you’ll never
No, you never will
You know you can’t
If you loved me you would tell me
You would save me from this hell
But you didn’t
And you’ll never
No, you never will
If you loved me you wouldn’t leave me
You would take me by the hand
But you didn’t
And you’ll never
No, you never will
You know you can’t
