If You Still Loved Me
Love Lost: A Heartbreaking Tale in 'If You Still Loved Me'
Lyrics
If you still loved me, we wouldn't be apart
If your love for me still existed, we wouldn't be separated.
And I'd be lying next to you without this broken heart
I would be lying next to you, free from the pain of a broken heart.
If you still loved me
Reiterating the desire for the partner's love to persist.
If you still loved me, then we'd be making plans
If your love was still present, we would be making future plans together.
And you'd be holding on to me instead of that other man
You would be choosing me over another man and holding onto our relationship.
If you still loved me
Emphasizing the longing for the partner's love with repetition.
If you still loved me
-If you still loved me
-They all told me I should run away
Others advised against the relationship, predicting heartbreak and pain.
They said you'd break my heart and that I'd be in pain
Warnings about potential heartbreak and suffering due to the partner.
They all warned me
Recalling the warnings received from others.
Said you weren't the one
Others suggested that the partner was not the right person for a lasting relationship.
I should have listened
Expressing regret for not heeding the warnings.
Instead of saying they were wrong
Instead of acknowledging the warnings, asserted they were wrong.
I should have listened
Further regret for not taking the advice and potentially avoiding pain.
Maybe I should have run
-If you still loved me
If the love persisted, the partner would be physically present.
Then you would be right here
Imagining holding onto the partner rather than drowning sorrows with alcohol.
And I'd be holding on to you instead of this empty beer
In a scenario of continued love, physical closeness would replace emotional emptiness.
If you still loved me
Speculating that enduring love would eliminate doubts and questioning.
You wouldn't wonder why
The partner would express commitment rather than uncertainty.
You'd be saying I do instead of just goodbye
Instead of saying goodbye, there would be a declaration of commitment.
If you still loved me
Reiteration of the longing for the partner's love.
If you still loved me
-They all told me I should run away
Recalling the warnings received about potential heartbreak and pain.
They said you'd break my heart and that I'd be in pain
Reiterating the predictions of a broken heart and emotional suffering.
They all warned me
Reflecting on the previously mentioned warnings from others.
Said you weren't the one
Reaffirmation that the partner was not the right person, as warned by others.
I should have listened
Expressing regret for not heeding the advice given by others.
Instead of saying they were wrong
Insisting that the warnings were inaccurate, rather than admitting the mistake.
I should have listened
Repeating the regret for not taking the advice and considering the option of running away.
Maybe I should have run
