If You Loved Me
Unveiling Love's Dilemma: If You Loved Me by Laura Branigan
Lyrics
If you loved me, I'm sure that you would know
If you truly cared about me, you would understand without doubt
Wouldn't be so easy for you to let me go
It wouldn't be simple or effortless for you to end our relationship
If you loved me, you'd put away your pride
If your love for me was genuine, you would set aside your ego
And put some love inside, and hold it there forever
You would nurture that love and keep it alive eternally
If you loved me, if you ever did before
If you truly had feelings for me in the past
You could find those feelings, and feel them all once more
You could reconnect with those emotions and experience them again
If you loved me, that love would pull us through
If your love for me was genuine, it would help us overcome challenges
You'd do all you could do to keep that love together
You would make every effort to maintain and preserve our love
You had me walkin' on a rainbow that vanished at my feet
You made me feel happy and hopeful, but that happiness disappeared suddenly
Now that it's over, I see the truth my heart refused to see
Now that our relationship has ended, I realize the reality my heart avoided
If you loved me the way I love you from the start
If you truly loved me the way I have loved you since the beginning
Wouldn't be so easy for you to break my heart
It wouldn't be effortless for you to cause me emotional pain
If you loved me, you'd give it one more try
If your love for me was genuine, you would attempt to reconcile
You wouldn't let it die, you'd hold me close forever
You wouldn't let our love fade away; you'd want to keep me close forever
If you loved me
If you truly loved me
If you loved me
If you genuinely cared for me
If you loved me like I love you
You would love me with the same intensity and depth as I love you
