If You Loved Me
Unveiling the Depths of Longing: If You Loved Me by Jann Arden
Lyrics
If you loved me I'd be more sure of myself
If you loved me, I would gain greater self-assurance.
And if you loved me I'd have everything in this world I guess
If you loved me, I would possess everything I desire in this world.
If you loved me
Reiteration of the condition: If you loved me.
If you loved me
-If you loved me I would not need my drunken friends
If you loved me, I wouldn't rely on the company of my intoxicated friends.
And if you loved me my loneliness for sure would end
If you loved me, my feelings of loneliness would undoubtedly disappear.
If you loved me
Repetition of the condition: If you loved me.
If you loved me
-If you loved me
-If you loved me
-I would clench my hands
If you loved me, I would express my anxiety physically (clenching hands, holding breath).
And hold my breath
Continuation of the physical expression of anxiety.
And promise to be true
If you loved me, I would make promises of loyalty and faithfulness.
I would never speak
If you loved me, I would choose silence, refraining from speaking.
I'd hardly eat
Continuation of the sacrifices made if loved, including minimal eating.
I would not cost a cent
If you loved me, I would not be a financial burden (not cost a cent).
I would watch you sleep
If you loved me, I would attentively watch over you as you sleep.
And count your sheep
Continuation of watching over the loved one's well-being.
And lie beside the bed
If you loved me, I would be devoted enough to lie beside your bed.
I would never think
If you loved me, I would avoid negative thoughts or doubts.
I'd pour your drink
If you loved me, I would gladly serve you by pouring your drinks.
I'd laugh at every joke
If you loved me, I would find joy in every joke you tell.
You'd tell
Continuation of finding joy in the loved one's humor.
If you loved me
Repetition of the condition: If you loved me.
If you loved me
-If you loved me
-If you loved me
