If It Weren't for Him
Unrequited Yearning: Love's Silent Struggle in 'If It Weren't for Him'
Lyrics
If she'd only knew what I was thinking
If the woman only knew the thoughts on my mind
If she'd only knew what was in my head
If she only knew the contents of my thoughts
Why can't she see my heart is breaking
Expressing frustration that she can't perceive the pain in my heart
She'd be mine if it weren't for him.
If it weren't for another person (him), she would be mine
So many times I dreamed I had her
Imagining having her in dreams multiple times
I call her name when I lay down
Calling her name in moments of vulnerability
Still I can't learn to live without
Struggling to cope without her presence
Her jealous heart is all I found.
Her possessive and suspicious nature is all that I encounter
See your face would be my destiny
Seeing her face is considered as my destiny
Now I won't take what you can give to me
Choosing not to accept what another person can offer
This lonely place is all I hope to find
Describing the current emotional state as a desolate place
If it weren't for him then you'd be mine.
If it weren't for the presence of another person (him), she would be mine
If he'd only knew what I was thinking
If the other man only knew the thoughts on my mind
If he'd only knew what was in my head
If he only knew the contents of my thoughts
Why can't he see my heart is breaking
Expressing frustration that he can't perceive the pain in my heart
He'd be mine if it weren't for him.
If it weren't for another person (him), he would be mine
You'd be mine if it weren't for him
She would be mine if not for the presence of him
