If I Fell
Navigating the Depths of Love: If I Fell by Wayne Gratz
Lyrics
If I fell in love with you
If contemplating falling in love with you
Would you promise to be true
Asking for a commitment to be truthful
And help me
Seeking understanding and support
Understand
Expressing a need to comprehend the situation
'Cause I've been in love before
Reflecting on past experiences of love
And I found that love was more
Realizing love involves more than physical gestures
Than just
Acknowledging that love is deeper than holding hands
Holding hands
Highlighting the complexity of love
If I give my heart
Considering giving one's heart
To you
Emphasizing the need for certainty
I must be sure
Insisting on assurance from the beginning
From the very start
Stressing the importance of genuine love
That you
Desiring to be loved more than a previous person
Would love me more than her
---
If I trust in you
Placing trust in the other person
Oh please
Pleading not to avoid the relationship
Don't run and hide
Emphasizing the vulnerability of trust
If I love you too
Expressing the fear of being hurt
Oh please
Urging not to damage self-esteem as a previous lover did
Don't hurt my pride like her
---
'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
Expressing an inability to endure emotional distress
And I
Conveying potential sadness
Would be sad
Emphasizing personal emotional state
If our new love was in vain
Fearing a love that doesn't lead to fulfillment
So I hope you see
Expressing a desire for understanding
That I
Reiterating the willingness to love
Would love to love you
Emphasizing a choice to love
And that she
Referring to a third person (she)
Will cry
Anticipating emotional response from the third person
When she learns we are two
Speculating on the reaction of the third person
'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
---
And I
-Would be sad
-If our new love was in vain
-So I hope you see
-That I
-Would love to love you
-And that she will cry
-When she learns we are two
-If I fell in love with you
Reiterating the contemplation of falling in love
