If You Loved Me
Unveiling Heartbreak: If Love Was True
Lyrics
If you loved me
If the feeling of love is genuine
You'd never let me go
You would hold on and not allow separation
If you need me
If there's a need for my presence
You'd better tell me so
You should communicate it openly
Girl I had this feeling for a week or so
The singer has sensed a change in the relationship
That you might be leavin'
Concern about the possibility of the partner leaving
Is there something I should know
Questioning if there's crucial information undisclosed
Have you found another lover
Wondering if the partner has someone else
Or is it just the end
Speculating if it's the end of the relationship
I'm just sick and tired
Expressing frustration with efforts to maintain friendship
Of tryin' to be friends
Tired of pretending and making efforts to be friends
How can I tell you
Seeking a way to communicate and be understood
Make you understand
Expressing the effort to meet partner's needs
For all the things you wanted
Highlighting the singer's efforts to fulfill desires
I did the best I can
Emphasizing the singer's best efforts
But I won't make excuses
Refusing to make excuses for being true to oneself
For being who I am
Asserting self-acceptance and identity
You say it's time for changes
Indifferent to partner's desire for change
And I don't give a damn
Expressing a lack of concern or interest
I never had a secret
Claiming honesty and transparency in the relationship
I never lied to you
Denying deception or falsehood in the relationship
And what we had together
Acknowledging that what they had wasn't sufficient for the partner
Was not enough for you
Recognition that the relationship fell short
You see my father told me
Recalling advice about self-love from the father
Life's too short to hate yourself
Emphasizing the brevity of life and the importance of self-acceptance
And I'll just head out on that road
Choosing to move on and find a new path
You find someone else
Encouraging the partner to find someone else
