If I Didn't Love You
Unveiling Heartbreak: Conway Twitty's Emotional Journey in 'If I Didn't Love You'
Lyrics
I can't believe it's really me telling you goodbye
I am expressing disbelief that I am the one saying goodbye to you.
But, I've run out of reasons to defend your alibis
I have no more reasons to justify or support your excuses.
I can't go on pretending everything is still okay
I can't continue pretending that everything is fine.
Now, I know the truth behind all the games you've played
I now understand the truth behind the deceptive games you've played.
It wouldn't be so hard for me to turn my heart away
Turning away from you wouldn't be difficult if I didn't love you.
If I didn't love you.
Expressing the difficulty of distancing oneself due to love.
Looking back, it's easy now, for me to understand
Reflecting on past events, it's now clear why you reacted angrily to my questions about your whereabouts.
Why you got so angry when I asked you where you'd been
Explaining the cause of your anger and defensiveness.
You told me my suspicions were only jealousy
You dismissed my suspicions as jealousy and manipulated my trust.
And, you used the way I trusted you to make a fool of me
You took advantage of my trust to make a fool out of me.
You closed my eyes to lies that I could never have believed
You blinded me to lies I would never have believed if I didn't love you.
If I didn't love you.
Reiterating the impact of love on one's ability to see the truth.
If I didn't love you
If not for my love, I would have ended this relationship long ago.
I'd have walked away a long, long time ago
Emphasizing the endurance of the relationship due to love.
If I didn't love you
Without love, I wouldn't have allowed you to cause me pain.
I never would have let you hurt me so.
Highlighting the emotional toll endured because of love.
Now, the time has come for me to tell you that we're through
Announcing the decision to end the relationship and move on.
Leave this broken dream behind, and go find someone new
Encouraging the idea of leaving behind the shattered dreams and finding a new start.
I can see that it would be an easy thing to do
Acknowledging that ending things would be easier if not for love.
If I didn't love you.
Reiterating the difficulty of parting ways due to love.
If I didn't love you
Repeating the idea that, without love, the relationship would have ended earlier.
I'd have walked away a long, long time ago
Stressing the enduring nature of the relationship because of love.
If I didn't love you
Expressing that, without love, the hurt caused would not have been tolerated.
I never would have let you hurt me so.
Highlighting the emotional pain endured due to love.
If I didn't love you.
Reaffirming the difficulty of the situation because of love.
If I didn't love you.
Emphasizing the impact of love on the decision-making process.
If I didn't love you
Repeating the sentiment that the current situation is challenging because of love.
